too tall, twisted, neck pain etc...

ok, strange request. i need to know if anyone out there has heard of anyone having developed a "crick" in their neck from being too tall for their saab. which i am concerned as this is actually a pinched nerve. i had never driven a saab before my '87 900 turbo. i am in love with it, and have too many thousands invested in it to give up, but i am afraid i may have no choice. i have tried lumbar supports, the seat in every conceivable position and still be driveable. but it seems the juxtaposition of the low windshield height and the driver seat (especially with the narrow and concave shoulder area that forces me to "hunch over" even more by not letting me keep my shoulders back straight) are combining to be the culprit. i simply cannot trace it to anything else and the problem arose about a couple months after buying the car.... and it took a while to figure it out, and longer still to get past the denial, but the issue is too serious now. any help is appreciated before i list it for sale :(
