I see what you mean about the styloid looking a bit thicker in this image.

Getting your neck curve back takes time but there are some simple exercises that help with that. @vdm has done a lot of research on the ill effects of military neck & curve restoration. Here’s a link to some threads with good information:

> Hi VDM, Yes, the catheter venogram was done at supine position and I agree the fluid dynamics are affected by position and heart rate in the case of the vascular system along with many other physiological stuff such as whether you are awake or sleeping since that affects the heart rate. So standing/sitting will be different from supine position, similarly, running vs stationary. It turns out though that the Jugular Veins tend to do all the draining exclusively in supine position as opposed to …

> Your situation is definitely a frustrating & puzzling one as far as how to provide proper treatment that will somehow circumvent the post op inflammatory response. There must be a doctor who has experience with that, but finding that doc will be like the proverbial “finding a needle in a haystack”. That said, I will pray the “needle” will be found so you can proceed with the best options for your medical care.

> Those who know about my situation, most likely have heard that I do a lot of self-massage/stretches (a few hours a day at least). Good news is that I finally managed to regain good amount of my neck and spine’s mobility about four-five months since starting this. It’s fantastic to wake up in the morning and feel that neck isn’t painfully, totally stiff. It’s a brilliant feeling when body now starts attempting to relax and do some “muscle twitches” before falling asleep… Here in the pic is my “t…

If you look up exercises for military neck on YouTube quite a number will come up. The one I do to help prevent it is to lie on my back, facing the ceiling, w/ my knees bent & gently press the back of my head into the floor to activate my neck extensors (the muscles to the right & left of the neck’s center). I put my fingers on the muscles while pressing my head into the floor so I can feel whether they’re activating evenly. If they aren’t, I adjust my head position until they are. I count slowly to 5 as I press my head into the floor then release the pressure & count slowly to 5. Repeat 5-10x BUT if this flares your symptoms or causes any pain, wait to do this until your styloids are out. This exercise can also be done against the headrest in a car while driving or being a passenger, sitting in a chair w/ a high back, etc.
