Summary
Reporting on their own illness, they described a protruding head and a hump on the back of the neck that largely resolved over about two years after they changed their sleeping posture, raised their screens and stopped craning down at their phone. The first year brought little improvement, but they kept trying and the hump is now almost gone. They also reported nerve pain that magnesium partly relieved.

I changed my sleeping posture so that it wouldn't protrude my head ... The first year was really frustrating, and I didn't see much improvement, but I kept trying, and it's paid off.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
