Dr. Hauser, Thank you, I have this.

[@shaynaformity1384]

Thank you! I never would have imagined it would be safe to put pressure on the jugular, and it turns out this was the easiest, gentlest way I've found to align my sacrum and fix my molar malocclusion. What a surprise! I expected symptoms, and got relief instead.

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

We are so glad that you found some relief!

[@comicbossone2411]

[@richricogranada9647]

Is it a carotid blockage/compression, or a pinch nerve? How to determine?

[@okzoomer5728]

Can this kind of compression mimic stroke?? I have mild Atlanta axial instability with a synovial fluid bubble, barely grazing my brain stem area. Everyone has told me it's not a major problem yet. I get very sick lying down on the pillow at night in very slight amounts of flexion with stroke-like attacks. I also fear sitting down in certain chairs because they have traditionally given me stroke-like attacks as well or symptoms of high intracranial pressure within seconds. From the DMX there is no indication that the transverse ligament is weak enough for there to be cord compression and a dance is not hitting my brain stem when I'm lying down. I got a transcranial doppler to check the vertebral arteries and they're fine as well, however, that was in a standing position. Is it possible with jugular vein compression to go weak and numb in both arms and legs if the problem is bilateral? Whatever I have looks like Myelopathy but the MRI says my spinal cord is fine.

[@racheldahliamusic]

Head movement causing sudden extreme dizziness?

Do ever see patients with icicle feet and heavy legs and feet, I'm probably gonna contact your clinic soon I know for a fact I have instability but I'm not sure what's causing the feet thing I think there's ligament damage in my low back

[@matthaines8136]

@the dude wouldn't an mri of the cervival and lumbar show this

[@wwsoft]

@@matthaines8136 if it occurs 100% of the time when you lay on your back, then yes an MRI (of someplace, maybe not just the lumbar) should let you catch it assuming that the technician is actively looking for it and doesn't accidentally overlook it

[@xpost92]

Happened to me headaches soon as I lay down. Was a mystery. I think poor posture and severely tight neck muscles compressed it

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Poor posture can cause a lot of health issues - you are correct!

[@NoName78144]

OK what's the treatment of high riding of jugular pain?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Prolotherapy can be a great treatment option! We have a lot of resources and research on our website www.caringmedical.com/conditions/prolotherapy-neck-pain-cervical-instability/

I've got terrible double vision. My eye doctor says he cant find anything (he's got all the bells and whistles), so I hope I can find someone to help me here in Colorado.

[@wwsoft]

I believe there is a prolo clinic in Colorado that does some neck stuff. I considered going to them, but they didn't seem to compare to caring Medical in Florida.

Dr Edward Hepworth is the specialist in eagle syndrome/ IJV , he is in Denver,

[@robertrankin3123]

Look up Centeno,Shultz in CO if you suspect its realated to your upper neck.

[@DonaldGaron]

[@michaelstephens7588]

Health insurance cover test?

[@wwsoft]

Often insurance companies refuse to work with good doctors. He is out of network for all insurers. You would want to directly ask your insurance company if they would cover it. (They probably won't make it worth the time and effort)

Okay, here's a weird one for you. Eldest son has Trigeminal Neuralgia and can't lie flat on his back because of the pain in his head, but says when he manually compresses his jugular vein with his hands, afterward, brain fog becomes clarity. What do you think about that?

[@Michellepuccio]

Definitely call the office they will direct you:)

[@kristinethornham8300]

Did your son ever get relief? Was trigeminal neuralgia his final diagnosis or did he end up having something else?

What is the treatment pleaseee

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Internal vein compression can be caused by neck instability which can be treated with Prolotherapy!

[@ruparkyitin]

May I know ... why ligamentous cervical instability occurs??

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Great question! It could be from a lot of things, lifestyle, previous injury, degenerative disease, the good thing is that it can be treated with Prolotherapy and lifestyle changes like a healthy eating, looking up, staying positive etc.

[@ruparkyitin]

@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Could it be due to over exercise?? Like- lifting weights.
