Tell me my chances?

There has to be a way to get rid of this neck tension on both sides of my neck. I am considering massive surgery. IE: removing a mass via surgery. My doctors say I have run out of options. I remember going to see a chiropractor in high school that specialized in the treatment of the atlas (some bone at the base of the neck which goes around the spine). He told me that I had a 10% chance of recovery. My chances have only gotten worse.
