Surgery or not--2007 in August I chose to leave it overlapped, advise from my Dr. Jan 2010 I had bad case of vertigo/dizzieness. All year dizzieness was so bad that I chose not to even drive a car. I started off using ENT's advise. By Nov., 1, 2010 the ENT had no clue as to my problem!!! [FONT= times new roman]All professionals had asked medical history and this was mentioned and all said it may have something to do with it---but --that is as far as it went.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]November 8, 2010 I did a test hanging upside down on my gravity bed (back swing) which is yet another thing I have tried.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]I had not moved my head from side to side on it since I purchased it 2 months prior to that---don't ask me why---A very slow learner, I guess.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]Anyway- on the bed I went upside down---moved my head side to side--NO SYMPTOMS AT ALL --I got back upright and head side to side--huge symptoms!!!![/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]I did this a few times and [/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]THAT IS IT----the double thickness of the overlapped collar bone is pushing on nerves.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]It is simply a structural issue.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]The next day I had a treatment with the Dry Needle guy, acupuncture kinda, but when needle is in, he massages the [censored] out of it, it really makes the muscles kick. I told him my theory --structural, and he said you gota make sure before you go to surgery and wanted to [censored] around some more and refer me to yet another doctor.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]He said he is sure it is the neck and did a treatment with electricity on the ends of the needles---man, I felt way worse after that.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]Well--enough is enough someone has to make a decision, 50 weeks is long enough and I AM SURE IT IS THE BONE OVERLAPED.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]The collar bone has to be re broken, sawed apart and set on an even plane and my problem will be solved.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]He and his partner, who have been "Bone Docs" for 22 years, had never heard of this as a problem, but agreed that I had done enough research and said he would do the operation.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]Just before the operation, the Dr said that he wouldn't bet a thousand bucks on the success of this, and he would not change his practice of leaving broken collar bones overlapped---BUT, he said, for your sake, I sure hope this works!!!![/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]As soon as I woke up---I moved my head side to side----Just like when I was hanging upside down---NO SYMPTOMS AT ALL.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]It only took me 50 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours and 37 minutes to figure this out!!!![/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]AMAZING.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]Now, two weeks Post Op, I am just a bit "Light-headed" [/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]Moving my head side to side ------ still NOT DIZZY!!![/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]I assume the swelling inside there is still [censored] with the nerves, hence the Light-headedness. Getting rid of the woozy feeling is a huge success, so I feel sure that I have solved the root problem. [/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]I hope someone can learn from my experience, it has been the worst year of my 60 years.[/FONT]
[FONT= times new roman]Just remember, there is only ONE guy looking out for you and that person is reading this.[/FONT]
