Mongoose, I've had disc fusion performed on 2 discs in my neck, so I can identify with your situation. All the advice about seeing an appropriate physician, like an Orthopedist, is the way to go. While my situation was severe enough to warrant surgery, that only occurs in the worst case scenerio. If you're only having pain when you cycle, you may be able to correct or live with your situation with phyical therapy or medication. (I currently use both).
By the way, after my surgery, my physician encouraged me to ride a bicycle and is partially responsible for my return to cycling. I currently ride mountain bike trails and I ride a hybrid on paved surfaces. I sincerely hope you feel better and the doctors are able to provide you with correction that does not impact your cycling.
