HE HAD SURGERY 4 WERE HIS NECK AND ONE T1. IT HAS BEEN 8 WEEKS AND HE HAS TAKEN PHYSICAL THERAPY THE LAST 4 SINCE THE SURGERY. HE STILL FEELS THE SAME. WHAT ELSE CAN HE LOOK AT TO DETERMINE A CAUSE?

In my opinion he has ankylosing spodylitis which is untreatable , the real way to stop disease progress is to keep up range of motion exercise on intervals all day long , some anti inflamatory may also help delay this disease
