MRI shows a type 2 AICA loop in my left ear causing vertigo. I've tried multiple treatments but nothing helps. Is surgery an option to remove the loop, and how complex would it be?

You have tinnitus or giddiness? Type II still can be conservatively managed and it might be a incidental finding! Needs detailed history and evaluation

I've been feeling this really weird cold sensation in my right shoulder since last night, like there's a very cold AC blowing right on it. This happened after I twisted myself a bit while trying to adjust my car seat's headrest, which was a bit awkward, and then I sat through a 2-hour movie. My shoulder doesnt hurt, and I can move my arm perfectly fine without any redness or swelling, but this cold feeling is just odd. What could be going on here?

It could be a muscular spasm. as of now, you can apply a diclogel over the area and take a tablet zerodol TH8 twice a day after food for 2 days. it should reduce, if it doesn't, then you need to consult a orthopaedician in person for further evaluation and management.

After a serious brain and left side face surgery from an accident two months ago, I'm still on a liquid diet and can't open my mouth fully. What could be causing this?

After brain and facial surgery, limited mouth opening and difficulties swallowing (dysphagia) can result from several factors, including muscle spasms (trismus), nerve damage, or scar tissue formation. These issues can impact your ability to eat solid foods and could require a period of recovery and therapy.
