Hi XXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
I would need some more information in order to help you better:
a. Since you said your activities were limited, which activities are you unable to perform?
b. Is there any pain in the arm? Do you have tingling or numbness in the arms?
c. Is there any pain in the night? Is there a specific time when it is more?
d. Does the pain occur on a daily basis? when does it occur?
e. What makes the pain worse? What relieves your pain?
I would suggest that we repeat a MRI to know the current status of the cervical spine.
There is definitely something we can do about it and I am sure we can take care of this.
Please get back to me with above information.
Thanks.
