Although walking upright has been quite an accomplishment for us humans, it has not come without it's own set of difficulties. Are you a bit shorter than you were at say, 30? Do you have a pain in the neck besides your husband, wife, or kids? If so, you may have disk compression. In my 40s I developed my pain in the neck. I had this boyfriend who would put his somewhat hairy "paw" on the back of my neck and lead me around like a trained chimp. He'd "steer" me around corners, to known destinations straight ahead, through isles at the grocery store, etc. My neck began to hurt whenever he'd drive out to seem me (he lived about 900 miles away), but my doctor diagnosed it as minor disk compression (non-boyfriend induced). So was it coincidence that the pain went away when I sent him on his way, permanently? The pain did eventually return, even though I am now married to a husband who does not use me as a navigating device. Because of the intensity of the pain in my neck, a physical therapist set me up with a "device" which separates my disks for a short time and relieves pressure on the nerve that hurts and causes a pulling sensation down my arm. I LOVE it. Love, love, love it. My own little torture device that helps me to continue to walk upright.
Insert head, tighten clamp on base of skull, and pump!
