On my last post I mentioned I can turn my head better now. Now, looking down, seems to be getting less painful too.

I did a post about how bad looking down was a while back. I just looked it up and it was a year ago, so it shows how slowly this joint mobility stuff works. I just keep chipping away at it daily. I've been doing it for 28 months now. I've had TOS for more than 30 years now, so it would probably go much faster if you're younger.

I think the reason my neck is starting to move better is my upper back muscles are finally loosening up. I think they were all stuck together, and a lot of the rear neck muscles tie in with them. There's a lot of layers of muscle in the upper back and if they're stuck together it hurts, and you can't move well at all. They don't slide across each other properly. I used to think most of my pain was from damaged nerves and scar tissue, but now I think it's mostly "just" tight muscle fascia and adhesions.
