Okay, I have asked in the DDD forum but maybe I should check in here as well. I was told I have Fibro and I also have DDD., Cervical Radiculopthy, depression,and more than likely I'm perimenopausel. One of my symptoms that I've had since Oct 06, that's when my DDD set in, I believe I got so stressed out one day that the muscles in my neck swelled so badly that the discs that were already damaged were pushed by the muscles and caught a nerve aka pinched nerve.
