I Can Relate
I am in the same situation! I have one more shot of cortisone left for my neck until the shot's will no longer be an option for me. I have bulging disks C1-C5 and I get really bad Myofacial jaw pain as well. I am dealing with this BAD today from the weather I believe.
The shots only last short term so I turned to acupuncture for the chronic pain with my SNRI but I think I will be needing more for my pain or I will be back on bed rest with hot/cold compressions non stop....Back to step one
I had vestibular problems and now when I get in this condition of headaches my eye's start bothering me along with tinnitus. 
I have one MD tell me to not work on the strengthening and a pt that say's to work on it.....I have no answers for you but to let you know you are not alone with this chronic pain! Sux
