DEAR DR. GOTT: I have been diagnosed with torticollis. I am 60 years old but was diagnosed with the condition about 25 years ago. The doctor said it was a mild case and didn’t feel it would get any worse. Well, it seems to be doing just that, especially if I have any stress in my life. This has put such limitations on the types of activities I participate in. Plus, I feel as if everyone is staring at me because of the turning of my head to the right.
What do you know about this condition, and could you please tell me what my options are for treatment? Thank you so much for any advice or suggestions you might have.
