That post with the link about the neck made me wonder...
when I sit up the back of my brain feels like it's jiggling, and the muscles in my shoulders, neck, head and face feel like they're pulling and tugging. (I lay down so much I didn't realize it). After a while, sitting up hurts so much, I get tired, my scalp gets numb, and where the spinal cord meets the brain starts to hurt a lot. the whole upper spine starts to hurt. and tailbone is agonizing. Tailbone thing is complete mystery. Also just moving my eyes back and forth make the back of my brain feel like it's jiggling. I have acquired vertical nystagmus. EMG done recently showed nerve damage and they wanted me to do mri of upper and lower spine to dictate what kind of therapy i need, but I hate the confinement of that darn machine. They also want me to do vestibular therapy... I've just assumed after this many years whatever symptoms I have are untreatable, are these tests and therapies worth it after so many years? Disclaimer: I've had a number of very bad injuries, so don't think you'll be home this long.. |
