Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Just read Grammy's post about hanging the head upside down. Didn't write before this, 'cause it took me this long to remember it.. but I used to do it too... many years ago. Also, I just thought of a POSSIBLE explanation... perhaps hanging it over like that uses gravity to relieve some of the pressure in the occipital area. Make sense?

" and he answered, " YEAH! " haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Hello all, I too am not able to hyperextend my neck in anyway. I couldnt even enjoy all the beautiful birds at Disney's Animal Kingdom, when my kids wanted me to look. This was not a problem prior to surgery. Prior to my dx I would always drop my head forward when my head would hurt or when my eyes gave me problems. It was just an automatic response to relieve the discomfort. My MD said when I dropped my head forward I relieved the pressure from my herniation and allowed the spinal fluid to flow. Just my two cents. Wishing you all a Happy and comfortable New Year.
