tenor sax problem

Not a clarinet question but many of you doublers out there may have experienced something similar.

My wonderful Selmer 80 SA serie 2 tenor neck angle is making me tilt my head up and protrude my lower jaw causing TMJ strain problems. This makes it harder to see the page without stooping. ALSO ...I can't have my tenor by my side as this throws my spinal muscles into cramp (from a back injury). So I have to play it in front of me. The solution I think is having a higher angle of the m/p so that I can tilt my forehead forward and my chin down.

Can I get necks with different angles ?? not necessarily Selmer, but compatible ?

OR, can I get my own Selmer neck tweaked up at the m/p end? #I appreciate this is prob not recommended.

Any help appreciated.
