<s>[INST] yes. thank you...i have had a bruise on both sides of my neck for about 6 or more months...i have had osteoarthritis for about 20 years & i m 51 now.the pain is more on my neck instead coming from my spine or any discs. although on my M.R.I. it shows that my discs are losing the jel inbetween. I haven t ever had pain from both sides of my neck. plus the bruises. It alson seems like my skin around my shoulders looks greenish.also i ve had all these little rash like bumps that do not itch at all.it started spreading from the back of my arms to my my thighs then to my calves. i m not sure if all this is connected or not...thank you for your opinion .. [/INST] Hi, You are correlating different things with one another. Bruises and rashes are completely different, it has no relation with your disk space. During the loss of disc space and loss of gel, you will get pain in the back, not rashes and bruises. Thank you. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
