A member asked:
Husband wore kevlar helmet for 22 years being infantry could this cause issues with c4 c5 c6? along with his many back issues?

Unlikely: Back and neck pain degenerative issues are quite common. Kevlar, body armor, and weight bearing loads do not help, but are unlikely the direct cause of these problems.
