    neck and hands

    AT 62 I expect my hands to have some arthritis, but 6 weeks ago from the pinky down and across all my knuckles (both hands) turned beet red, swollen, wrists felt boggy, and stayed that way for a week.  They are still slightly red.   But my main concern is my neck!  I had a one level ACDF, then 2 years later the bones were going in... Read moreChevron
