Well it's in my neck so my head would have to be overweight. Everything else is below the problem. Not genetic but quite normal age-related degeneration that everyone has, just affects some more than others.

Nothing to indicate this as a direct cause, but I guess it can't have really helped the situation.

Just for now I'll stick with the lyrica and oxycodone, but that isn't going to do anything long term except give me a nice drug habit

OK must be something slightly different from my problem then.
My pain prior to the surgery was beyond most painkillers. OTC stuff, forget it. When I was admitted to ICU, in the first 24 hours I had 3 bags of different IV painkillers - Tramal, Pethadine and Perfalgan, and 5 shots in my ass of Pethadine, nothing made any difference, I was really struggling.
Then finally they gave me the Morphine. That's a pretty big deal here, they have to make a special application to the ministry of health. That worked, I was on it through IV for just over 48 hours up to the surgery. I was out of my head, ****ing weirdest dreams ever. Back on it for a few hours after the surgery but then I had to stop because the side effects were starting to pile up and can get quite nasty.
