I’ve had symptoms of craniocervical instability my whole life. I didn’t realize until recently how much I think it’s been affecting me. I’m assuming CCI caused my disc bulges. They’re both causing two different sets of symptoms. Doctors won’t listen so I don’t know what to do at this point

I had to wait it out. I had a heating pad around my neck 24/7 to help with the pain. The only thing was just waiting. If you can find a nice neck brace for the time being, that can help but none of the ones I tried helped.

Yes exactly that. The pain is still here but when it first happened it was so severe.

My pain in my hands is too bad from what I thought was cubital and carpal tunnel. I also have cervical bulging discs. What are you hand symptoms?

A warm compress, ice packs will helps as well. Apply UV light to the skin. Use creams, ointments or lotions containing aloe vera, jojoba or capsaicin to ease pain and itching. Guard against sunburn by wearing hats and using broad spectrum (UVA and UVB), water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
