Otherwise there is nothing new to explain what is going on. THe neurosurgeon who fixed my neck says the pain is coming from my shoulder surgery. The orthopedist who did the rotator cuff repair says it is coming from my neck surgery. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks again so much for your help.
Lordosis is a backward curvature of the spine.
Stand up straight, then feel the small of your back. That is the lumbar spine, and it normally is curved with the concave end behind you - the lumbar lordosis. The thoracic spine bends the other way, that is, convex to the back. The cervical spine once again is supposed to be lordotic. I have seen many films in which the normal curvature of the cervical spine is lost, so that it appears straight rather than lordotic.
