cervical instability, neck ligament/muscle problems??
hi. i’m completely new here pls be nice👉🏽👈🏽 i have hEDS and also suspected cervical instability and vein compression(s). had an MRI of my neck recently and it looks terrible, multiple disc bulges and reversed lordosis. my chiropractor feels very strongly that because it has happened without a specific cause (like a car accident), it must be my ligaments that are not holding my neck together like they should. i’m in a country where there’s no knowledge on these things so i’m trying as best i can to pursue diagnostics in different ways.
what i wanted to ask on here is if anyone has experienced anything similar to me: i feel like the muscles(?) in the right side of my neck are broken/torn. it’s very difficult to describe. there is a strong pain on the right side on the back of my neck but it feels like it’s coming from my muscles or other soft tissue, it feels like the tissue is literally torn?? never felt anything similar to this before and i’m confused. absolutely awful feeling.
