A.S. Face 0586: Alessandro

My name is Alessandro I am 47 years old and I live in Milano (Italy).

I suffer from severe dorsal hyperkyphosis that was diagnosed in 1993,but only about 3 months ago I began to have continuous hard pains to my neck. Through RX and MRI, found to have Ankylosing Spondylitis expecially at level C3-6.

Now I know I’ll have live with this problem but it was a joy for me to have found a site where I can confront with other people who have my same problem,and so I decided to give my contribution.

Thank you very much

Alessandro
