Good response...i go to the pool also..trying to twist shake and whatever..to take my mind off this chronic pain...i also do dry kneedling at physical therapy..
It took 9 months, a lot of tests, and a 12 day hospital stay to rule out everything else for me. I have it in my peripheral joints so not as simple to diagnose
I cannot sit for any length of time without struggling to get up due to it being so sore.
Ive been told to do pelvic floor exercises but this also really hurts.my coccyx.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=utyL2bm1I7E. These are super easy, fun refreshing movements that are so easy to do. They are refreshing because they get blood flowing in a gentle way that makes a person feel better. It is a very simple yoga that can be done laying down, sitting and all kinds of ways.

I have been having a lot of problems with extreme dizziness. It started after an MRI on my head which I had due to daily migraines. I believe that the dizziness stems from my neck issues. I was prescribed meclizine but hasn't made a difference. Any thoughts or suggestions?
