One month post op

Interesting and I hope things continue to improve for you.

I’ve just seen the neurophysio and it was very interesting. Did a number of tests and we basically figured out my proprioception is terrible and I have no core strength. These two things are likely making things worse. Brings into question how much eagles syndrome was causing my symptoms but they did say potentially the years of having this has causing muscle imbalances and guarding etc which has damaged my proprioception. They did also say potentially there’s some underlying instabilities causing it but probably more muscular than structural instability. I have exercises to do with a laser on my head if you’ve ever seen those lol aswell as core strengthening and hopefully that improves thing. My previous physio was very hypermobility driven so everything was just focused on strengthening the neck but the neurophysio explained that because i had crap proprioception and likely have muscle imbalances as a result of that, all I was doing was doing was just strengthening the imbalances. So yeah I’m hoping that with physio I can move past this, but also hoping that I do still notice some more improvements surgically as I recover.
