Aleis,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I am not surprised to read that you have a bulge at C-6. I was going to suggest you get thoroughly checked out for a neck injury and even an upper back injury down to T-3. A chiropractor may be able to help or maybe a physiotherapist. Some gentle traction and mobilization would be helpful. I was treated by a physical therapist (physiotherapist) who is an expert in myofacial release who was able to get my stomach and esophagus working correctly.

You may have a rib partially dislocated from the vertebra. Either of these is not a one time fix. It takes time and discipline to allow the joints to heal and tighten up.

My condition was a version of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.

The first time I experienced this problem, I lost 14 pounds in 2 weeks. I could hardly swallow.

I hope you can find help to get some relief.

My best to you.
