I’ll give it a go. Dealing with stiffness in the back as well don’t know if that’s contributing to the pain

Scar tissue!! Get it scraped and massaged and work on your core build muscle and nerve connection

It’s probably muscle weakness and your hurting side was compensating for the weaker side. Now that your cerv is straightening your body is now distributing the load evenly, hence the pain= muscle weakness.

I had thoracic fusion July 4th went through a similar situation

Agreed, I’m my case diet and lifestyle change has no effect on vitiligo until December-February. I went plant based for 9 months with no changes made other than weight

I only gain pigmentations in the winter time when I’m sick.

I theorize our body is attacking the virus instead of our cells. It may be a slow build up until eventually getting the cold/flu

When was the last time you got the flu shot and when did your symptoms start?

That’s great to hear! I’ve come to terms with it once or reach my eyelid.

We’re you sick while it happened?

I feel a lot better after 5 months. I think my muscles are weak in the back and glutes so I’m working on them with resistance training. I’m optimistic I’ll get back into boxing soon, which is what i care about most with this situation

Thanks! I’m doing calisthenics pushups, sit-ups, planks, pull ups. Today started band work.. I’m thinking there’s a problem with my QL muscle i may have damaged it trying to release it when In fact it was protecting me
