I think I was the one who posted that. When I was a college QB I was measured at about 5'10 1/2". My inseam was 32.5". Now at age 77 I am 5'8 1/2" but still have a 32.5" inseam. Why? Well age, of course. But, I also have had some spine issues and in 2013 I crashed my bike and broke my neck. This a fusion of C1 & C2 and the loss of height. So, in my case, yes it's about upper spine.
