Hi,
I’m curious, of those who have found they have CCSVI, which side of their necks do they get this head, neck to shoulder pain in, is it the same side as the wide engorged jugular vein, or the other one ?

Hi Barb, my son and I both have the BIG, oversized veins on our right side, but both of us have neck pain on both sides. Interestingly, though, my right side is MUCH more affected than my left (more subluxations, low muscle tone, looser joints, livido reticularis is worse, etc). As you know, I’m not a huge believer in coincidences! 🙂 Diana
