Hello, Thank You For Your Time. From What I Can

Hello, thank you for your time.

From what I can tell, there is a bone chip between my C7 and T1 vertebrae. I am somewhat familiar with bone chips because in my sternum there is a bone chip that I can push around without pain. While it is incredibly mentally uncomfortable to move these chips around, they both cause zero pain. But my paranoia surrounding my neck causes me to worry about the supposedly bone chip between my vertebrae. Every day I find myself worried about my neck, so I try and work on my posture but have not been able to stop slouching. Even if I straighten my back, my neck still extends out, rather than straight up. If I flex my muscles I can get my neck to stay straight but when I relax, my neck instantly sticks out. I have asked nonprofessionals about a vertebrae that protrudes out way more than any other vertebrae but they have assured me that this is normal. But it does not feel normal. I wish I had a perfectly straight back/neck.

Am I being paranoid, or is this something to consider?
