Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure that you do not require a second surgery to remove the osteophytes.
Also, at this stage, you require medications such as
pregabalin or
gabapentin capsules to relieve the
nerve pain, arising due to nerve compression in the neck.
In addition, you would also benefit from
physiotherapy, such as IFT/
ultrasound to relieve the pain, and neck extension exercises.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)
