I am taking Nervie- nerve health (Thiamin, B6, B12, Calcium and Alpha-lipoic Acid). I was doing really well and was taking it consistently, then got cocky and stopped lol. Had a flare up about 2 weeks ago where the teeth pain and shoulder pain really flared- sent me into a metal crisis. I think I over exaggerated myself. ( Helping my nephew with his goat and she kept tugging at arm and my whipping my neck ) This have improved but it definitely gave me that reality check that things are still very much not fully healed and I swore better compliance to the nerve vitamins.
ALF treatment is underway, its putting a lot of pressure on my TMJ and clicking while much improved is still painful. With each pop i feel it snap my trigeminal nerve. 
Chat GPT says this can take up to 1 year and is okay as long as its a steady improvement.
Also reading into something called “ Cranial- Cervical-Fascial influence” Something about the nervous system having to compensate for the muscle patterns stuck in place due to eagles and having to re-align. Considering neuromuscular rehab but honestly don’t have the energy.
Cranial-Cervical Fascial Influence After Eagle Syndrome
Eagle syndrome doesn’t just affect bones (the styloid) — it affects the entire fascial system that connects the skull, neck, jaw, throat, tongue, and even shoulder girdle.
When the styloid is elongated or the stylohyoid ligament is calcified, it creates chronic tension patterns in these fascial chains.
Even after surgery, these fascial patterns do not automatically unwind, so symptoms like jaw tightness, neck stiffness, dysphagia, facial pain, scapular dysfunction, and even tongue/taste disturbances can continue.
How to Fix Cranial-Cervical Fascial Dysfunction Post-Eagle
A. Fascial release work
-
submandibular fascia release
-
SCM + scalene decompression
-
tongue and floor of mouth mobility
-
suprahyoid/infrahyoid stretches
-
TMJ capsule glide
-
occipital/cranial base release
B. Neuromuscular re-education
To restore proper firing:
-
serratus anterior activation
-
lower trap strengthening
-
deep neck flexor activation
-
jaw relaxation training
C. Posture retraining
Correct forward head posture to reduce dural tension.
D. Gentle hyoid mobility
Helps relax the entire stylohyoid chain.
E. Breathing mechanics
Diaphragm + neck synergy reduces anterior neck fascial load.
