Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative condition of the cervical spine around the neck. This is an account of a woman who was diagnosed with the condition 

MRS M is in her late 60s, and very sprightly for her age. She still drives around (despite rumblings from her children and grandchildren), and she manages very well, thank you very much. Thus far, she has been free from the scourges of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease, but lately, she has been complaining of stiffness in her neck. “Must come from being so stubborn,” her eldest jokingly ribbed her.
