Welcome to NT

You do have a lot of unexplained issues going on.

First, I do believe you. Sounds like you know your body pretty well.

I guess one could feel good about all those tests turning out to be normal. That's a good thing. I know it don't fix or explain what's wrong, but they could have found some pretty bad stuff. That C5 and 6 could have some bearing on what's going on.

I was born with cross eyes. I had surgery on both eye muscles. They surgery went well and was not painful. If I'm tired or sick, the muscles will be weak. Strange... so I understand eyes going in different directions. I also wore the wrong Rx lens for over a year and caused my eyes to cross again. (2007) I don't think doing the maneuver will cause your eye to stick in that position, but if it did, I think they could fix it then.

I also was examined by an ENT (ear, nose and throat) doc. He did botox injections in my scalene muscles (in the front of my neck-TOS related from accident). When I would get the bilateral (both sides) injected, for about 2 weeks my right eyelid would twitch. I reported that to the doc and he said "Not related. We're not wired up that way." Then a few years later I was researching botox and scalenes and side effects and found that there was a side effect with droopy eyelids. Hmmm... guess we are wired up like that. I've also had right side face numbness and decreased or wierd sensations. My right ear was also affected. The ENT has treated a lot of patients in my area and has instructed them to do certain maneuvers to relieve ear and facial problems.

Muscle problems, herniated and bulging cervical discs, TOS, scalene muscle spasms, pectoralis major and minor spasms, bulging lumbar discs, I used to get bad migraines, I can tell you, it can effect you from head to toe. You may never get a grip on your causes. I gather morsels here and there and put the pieces of my puzzle together. It helps to have reasons why and results to justify what's going on and why these things are happening.

When the MDs can't explain things, then that sends us outside the box.

I believe in PT. A good PT will bring you a long way if it's indicated. Chiropractors can too. They're more a whole body treatment approach, knowing the body needs to be in proper aligment. Yoga also stretches the body out. GOod thing to do. Might need instruction to learn how to breath. I was 40 years old and my therapists and yoga instructor were teaching me how to breath.

Just a few thoughts for you.

I'm sure many here will throw in their 2 cents worth.

See ya around
