Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

I advise you to take rest for 10 mins, after every 50 mins during your working hours. It will provide rest to your muscles. Due to hard work your necks muscles and arm muscles get fatigue also nerves in cervical area get compressed. You should also get your x-ray of cervical region in AP and Lateral view and send me the report.

Till then take 1 tab aceclofenac+thiocolchicoside three times a day, 1 tab. pregabalin at night by prescription.

Apply hot packs for 30 mins in morning and evening.

I hope it helps.

You are welcome to ask further health related queries.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
