Clearly, your neck is not stable. Have you been seen by a neuro-surgeon? For some patients, the only relief comes from having metal rods inserted to hold the neck in place.

While it sounds gruesome, I wish I could have this done. However, my upper spine was so damaged the surgeon fears in would be too dangerous to operate.

Have you used a cervical collar, at all? If so, does it give you any relief?
