Suggest Treatment For Klippel Feil Syndrome And Severe Arthritis

I have klippel feil syndrome and my face is not asymmetric and the older I get the worse it gets. My spine is curve in a s at he bottom and at the top I have severe arthritis and a web shaped fusion of 3 vertebrae. Is there anything I can do to straighten my face??? My left ear and my left eye is about 1 inch lower than the right and I really hate myself

Hi,

You need some self-care for treating klippel fell syndrome. Activity modification. Ice and / or heat therapy. Applying a chilly pack or ice may lower inflammation and pain, different pillow types. Back brace and/or cervical collar. Depending on the amount of spinal deformity, take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy. I suggest you consult with rheumatologist for severe arthritis.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
