Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Your symptoms are due to cervical spondylitis and nerve root compression. The first line of treatment involves pain killers and muscle relaxants along with regular physiotherapy. This solves the problem in most of the cases. Surgery is the last option.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
