Cranial Pressure, Instability, Platysma spasm, hyoid instability. Why?

Category Discussion: I feel this post qualifies for ENT, pulmonary, neurology, and autoimmune categories, but I felt bones, joints, and muscles is most appropriate for generalization.

I'll start off by saying, at times, it feels like I have potentially life-threatening airway and venous compression in my neck. My cervical MRI did show "upper cervical straightening with spasm" while I was in supine. There are some other x-ray cervical findings along the lines of mild degeneration (atlas, mid-lower cervical). Before this became painful, a temporal CT showed "quite enlarged right jugular foramen and hypoplastic left". I have symptoms in alignment with thoracic outlet syndrome and I'm suspicious of clavicle venous compression/early stage thoracic embolism.

A little over a year ago, I overstretched while performing the "hand clasp" stretch because I could feel my right side was tighter than the left. The next day, on bench press, my shoulder slightly popped. I regained some strength and healing the next month, but eventually, my body fell apart.

I just visited Stanford with confirmation of symptoms in alignment with thoracic outlet syndrome, eustachian tube dysfunction, right posterior shoulder subluxation. 11th rib slippage right side. Degenerated L4-L5 with mild sciatica, shoulder and rib crepitus, hypermobile hyoid. Toe/finger increased ROM, hypermobile tongue. Knee platella slippage. Suspicion of hypermobile spectrum. Lengthy neck, upper cervical instability suspicion.

My brachial plexus feels terrible. I think I have upper cervical insability (MRI in supine showed upper cervical straightening with spasm). My pain physician confirmed my platysma and interscalene muscles are in contraction in the right side of my neck.

I have been sick and nauseated for a long time. I blow small amounts of green mucus and blood out my nose every day, notably consistent in the morning. It feels like I'm bleeding somewhere in my neck or esophagus, perhaps base of skull or hyoid and it accumulates in my nasal cavity. I really do think I have vagus nerve compression.

This hypermobile hyoid discovery is new to me and I wiggled it around a bitupon diagnosis. Seemingly consequentially, I coughed for many hours that day with a rattling esophagus while coughing, causing pain throughout my body, notably my ribs due to diaphragm contractions.

It feels like I'm not draining properly in my ear. My right ear produced more wax, pops a lot. I have recorded audio of the popping and vide of ear drum fluctuation. This issue is worse when I'm sick as I believe mucus gets trapped.

Former frequent marijuana smoker. It became very important that I quit because I have severe airway sensitivity now. I can't even be in proximity of smoke. I'm concerned about smoke/coughing damage to my hyoid. I still partake in edibles. Willing to quit edibles if there are concerns about psychogenic dystonia or saliva gland disruption.

I have chronic dry mouth and it doesn't go away months of no cannabis usage. I cannot get off of sleep meds due to severe insomnia. Seroquel, Lunesta, and Lorazepam all appear with either dry mouth or weird taste in mouth aide effects.

Invisalign braces gave me a bad posterior open bite. I'm fixing my bite with metal braces.

Mentally I am not okay. This is tough to deal with. I have pretty severe misophonia and now a bit of hyperacusis. I sometimes get spasms of tiny muscles in my ears. It's hard to sleep with even the slightest of noises. I'm quite bothered by loud chewing, phlegm noises, barking dogs, etc.
