cervical strain causing subluxation at C7/T1****please help
Hi guys,
I am active member on thoracic outlet syndrome forum.
I am software engineer by profession and recently left job due to arm,hand pain and parentheses. I had a small troma which caused extreme strain on my cervical spine .Slipped my hand while climbing caused my whole body weight strain on my fully extended arn.I had some discomfort for 2 days and all went fine after that.
After 2 yrs of this incident I had gone out on country side driving on bad road which caused my neck stiff and next day I felt something has slipped with noise I'm between c7-t1 area.since this time am having horrible neck pain on left side with spasm and ear pulling .
I had 3 cervical MRIs showing nothing. After 6 months of this pain started getting ulnar nerve issues at right elbow due to mouse usage.After 4 months of this started pain and spasm in neck and near collor bone.Doctors advised ulnar nerve transposition surgery at right elbow, which I denied since I am sure issue is in my neck causing bilateral symptoms which forced me to join thoracic outlet syndrome forum.
Had been to chiro who said I have subluxation at c7-t1 and I believe him because I feel something shifts in there with certain neck positions which is very painful.
MRI says no nerve compression and which is correct since I don't have radiating pain.but I have trapezious/scelene muscles spasm due to this causing tos symptoms with parentheses on both side on ulnar nerve.
I am pretty sure if I fix that subluxation issue I can be free of these symptoms. Chiro tried some manipulation s but said its slipping back again.
Do you have any idea how can I fix this neck issue? Some facet joint injection ? Any other therapy ?
Spine specialist are horrible and only refer MRI which says I don't have any problem and these crazy guys are so blind they don't touch my neck to see any misalignments.
Please give some inputs based on your expertise.
Thanka
