Thanks for writing!

Your brain and spinal cord have been jammed down between your hips. The hips were probably already loose and weak before you landed on the top of your head, which made it worse.

The obvious answer is to pull your spinal cord up from out between your hips. A good chiropractor could do that for you.

What part of the world are you stationed in? Are there chiropractors available at your station?

Those upside down machines they sell in sporting good stores would also help. Or you could rig and block and tackle, tie a rope around each ankle and have someone hang you upside down! ( a last resort). Somehow, you have to get the spine stretched out, that would help a lot, it would not get to the root of the problem but it would take the top part of the problem out of your life.

There are also home cervical traction devises available that fit over a door. Those would help.
