I would like to add that there is no pain felt during or after I pushed on it.

Thank you, this answer was very helpful.I had another question.At the base of my spine the last vertabre appears to protrude a bit more than the one next to it,and if I push on it but not hard,whle standing both my legs instantly begin to crumple and I almost fall.Do you have any idea what causes that? Thank you.

Thank you so much for your quick response.I will be taking the difficulty swallowing and make it work to my advantage,like weight loss.As for the procedures,my apologies. I looked at my paperwork and found I had a Anterior Cervical Fusion done.This is all confusing to me.My last surgery was about 30 years ago now.I was told prior to this surgery that I would most likely need another one done on my lower back as well.As it is difficult for me to walk,as my legs become weaker,and I am not able to lift them very high,they begin to drag.This is also happens when first getting out of bed or from a chair.Prior to surgery I was getting very bad lower back pains that have since stopped.But the weakness is still here and has become more severe since surgery.The numbness I will call the doctor about.Again,Thank you.
