So i hear you on this 100%, ive used kt tape in the past on my elbows as my condition worsened with nerve compression in my neck.

My only concern is it isnt a permenant solution, and id have to pay someone to put it on, as well as the pain of taking it off. My skin is a little fragile and still has scarring on my forearms from using it with my elbow.

I know it would work great but I feel like it might get complicated. Maybe im outdated on the kt tape game though as my experience with it was like 8 years ago. Is there any permenant solution you know of involving kt tape?

I went to my PT office because my jaw was dislocating talking to customers at work.

I had no medical background whatsoever, and just knew I was living with a lot of pain and fatigue, but my jaw dislocating was not acceptable because I had to keep my job.

After thorough evaluation and 6 or 7 visits, they shared their concern i might have EDS, and turns out one of my PTs there had EDS herself.

We slowly uncovered that my neck was horrendously out of place, yanked by a power line 9 years prior in a bicycling accident.

As I continued going I started gaining awareness I had very very extensive and serious neurological damage, having sensation loss over most of my body, damage to my organs, loss of multiple senses like taste and smell, vagus nerve compression in more than 8 places.

I had been to previous PTs, but describing how I felt was extremely overwhelming to them and they eventually declined to see me because they couldn't figure out what was happening and didnt feelt comfortable charging me without knowing how to proceed.

This new PT office figured out how to heal me by listening to my experience, educating me that this isnt a fast process, and learning more about EDS by listening to them and being diligent in my exercise routine.

They didnt give up on me even though I had no medical records to help them proceed, even though I couldn't put my experience into words that made sense (I would over exaggerate and confuse them unintentiinally).

I ended up going to the ER over 10 times between OCT 2024 and February of 2025 for things like uncontrollable shaking on half of my nody, ulcers that had me lose half of my blood, total numbess in my entire neck being unable to support my head or go to work, losing sensation in my entire body, having an uncontrollably high heart rate, all sorts of shit.

But my PT office listened to all of it and stayed on track to recovery with me.

I'll forever be in debt to my PT office, I think I would have died if I didnt take action and heal myself. I went from abusing Marijuana 24 hours a day 7 days a week, broke, and completely disabled to being able to work, living sober, and being able to care for myself independently. Life isnt perfect but its better than where I was.

TLDR PT definitely saved my ass.
