I think you are right. The more I think about it, the more I believe its not due to the MRI findings. It’s on my left side. It started about 4 years ago with pain in the scapular region up to my lower cervical area, it would hurt even when I sneezed. Over the past few years I’ve tried very hard to change everything – ergonomics, sitting, etc. I worked for over 30 years on a computer and I think it caused a muscle imbalance which led to pain in the joints and ligaments. I have recently started doing core excersices, yoga, and take frequent breaks at work to stand up and walk around for 5 minutes. Perhaps I can reverse some of the damage or at least stop it. I plan to go back and do Pilates which I did many years ago and felt great. Thank you so much for your prompt responses.
