Thanks. I have also been reading about people getting neck surgeries to help with the neck issues. Do you know anything about this?

Here are some success stories of people who have done it. I mean it's a longshot, but at this point you start getting desperate

When people have neck surgeries, they have a diagnoseable /imageable injury that has a fix. There are less invasive ways to treat neck instability if that is what you have.

A way to help understand if your neck is an issue would be to sleep on your back in a straight posture with minimal support of your head. You can do this in a recliner, too.

There is an imaging system that can be used to look at upper neck and ligament stability while moving it.

I would exhaust every option before even considering pursuing a surgical fix.

What symptoms were resolved with the successful neck surgeries you mentioned ?
