Hi,

Thanks for that interesting post - about that hip thing - is it possible to have a photo - you don't have to ID your face...it is just that a photo shows many more things than you can describe.

Can you clarify what you meant by "If i slouch and lift my neck forward and back, it gets really agrivated". Do you mean when you slouch and put your chin onto your chest or when you slouch and look up to the ceiling? Photo?

Now is it when you slouch and move your neck only that you get the pain or when you slouch, bend your hip up and then move your neck?

Slouching and lifting your head either forward or backward is not a sign of psoas being a problem. It is usually a sign of spinal cord tissue issues.

By this, i mean the by moving the spinal cord, it is giving you pain. This makes sense if you think of your spinal cord being like an electrical cable in a conduit - it is getting caught so whether you move it at one end (bending the hip up) or move it at the other end (moving the neck), then it will pull/catch/tug the cord and so give you pain.

Do you have any pins and needles or numbness anywhere? Any areas of increased sensation or decreased sensation? Are you more ticklish than before? I am sure there are many other symptoms that indicate possible cord problems. These also include muscle power (think underactive in your case!) or decreased reflexes - can't do those by yourself!!

Anyway, lets see how things go - pictures would be nice!

Thanks
