Wow. Twenty years is a long time to be dealing with neck problems.
I'm sure you will have some keen observations to add to the mix.
I look forward to hearing more about your situation and from you.

I am so sorry to hear that your neck surgeries were all unsuccessful. I have heard lots of stories of surgeries that were not successful. I hope that you have found some means of gaining relief for your pain. I feel sure that you will add lots of wisdom to this board. I will look forward to seeing you around the forum.
