@jeff_w I have been offered a trial of a halo brace in order to help determine if surgery will benefit me. Do you know, or was it discussed with you at the time, if having your head pulled up invasively could potentially cause or worsen vertical instability if this turns out not to have been your issue to begin with (ie if the halo didn't improve symptoms)?
on page 87 (i think) of this thread there are posts saying there is risk of making the instability worse (due to stretching the ligaments, especially a problem for people with EDS i think?)
