I have terrible problems with my
neck now and I do believe I broke my
neck, what I mean by that is, I cracked a
vertebrae. Is cracking a vertebrae breaking the neck? I have an osteophyte surrounding the crack and have suffered with pain for many years. I didn't have insurance, at the time, so I didn't get help, as well, I had to work to take care of my child so I kept going, though I'm not sure how I did it.
