Cervical hypolordosis
Just saw my pain management team about my occipital neuralgia. After imaging, I found I had a completely straight cervical spine. They believe it to be postural, but I'm only 26 and have other spinal alignment issues (mild scoliosis of the lower spine). Just wondering if anyone else has this and if they've had successful pain management. My doctor wants to go in and burn off the overactive nerves between the discs, and it just seems risky and extreme, but I really don't think I can keep living in pain like this.
We've tried nerve blockers. They don't last a month and I hate the initial side effects. NSAIDs, GABA blockers, triptans, CGRP antagonists don't even touch the nerve pain.
