In reference to your spine, I too had bad back problems that started a few months ago. Thought it was repetitive stress from work/guitar related stuff, but nothing (including not playing guitar) made it go away. (bad pain in the back and shoulders and numbness in both hands) As it turns out, it was all in my mind. Brought about initially by stress (just got married, wife moved in, job stuff) soon it fed on itself. Worry that I'd make it worse, made it worse. I read a book by Dr. John Sarno called "Healing back pain" and the pain started subsiding as I read! I'm now totally fine. The mind makes it real.
