Loss or cervical lordosis simply means that your neck is straightening, losing the normal, healthy curve and optimum positioning. The result of this, for me, is that my head often feels heavy and forward-leaning, like a bowling ball in front of my body. This causes increased strain on my neck/shoulders, poor posture, and terrible headaches. Fortunately, as I understand it from my rheumy, this is not necessarily a permanent condition. I do proper neck exercises and stretches (there are some good ones on this site) to try and better my neck posture, and continue my medicine to combat the inflammation and reduce the muscle spasms.
