I get sharper pains when I poke around my right bpi area, sharper than my left side. And when I twist my neck.

I know there isn't a definitive answer, but hopefully one of you guys know what it could mean. Could that mean that the some roots were avulsed?

Did you take the pins out of your new christmas shirt ?!!!

Love the joke! Gotta have some humor. As for the serious issue at hand - I know my son puts his chin to his chest during pain, don't know why it seems to help but I know others do the same also. Could it be from that? I've had pinched nerve problems from time to time and a symptom of it is a burning pain in the neck and I've found moist heat helps.
