Summary
Island 16815 reported constant neck stiffness and tension headaches for ages that seemed tied to posture. After switching to an orthopedic cervical pillow (Yippo Labs), they noticed less deep stiffness and pressure on waking within a few weeks, though it did not cure them. They did not describe their overall function, whether the benefit lasted, or any other treatments, costs or harms.

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.
