Karen, Welcome your symptums are very common.
Physiotherapy will help you. Learn what needs to be done and DO IT Every Day. I'm 5 years out and still benefit from stretching and strengthening, EVRY DAY. The central pain may get worse. Are you on meds for it? Most are on a tricyclic antidepressant, anti-convulsant and othe meds. I use a Cannabinoid medication, Sativex, from Canada. In the U.S. there is Marinol by prescription, or Mrijuana from a friend, or if you live in one of the Medical MJ states, you may grow your own. hope that helps Frank
