Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have neck pain due to either a bulging disc or a cyst in the facet joint, not sure yet which is causing the pain.. I have had 2 cortisone injections thus far with minimal relief. I am taking an anti-inflammatory med (Celebrex), but it sometimes makes me feel sick and I'd like to find another with a low side effect profile. I have a very sensitive system and a lot of meds don't agree with me. Is Voltaren often used successfully with sensitive people? What about Meloxicam? I've tried Gabapentin as it's likely there is a nerve being pinched, but it made me very dizzy. I also have vertigo (inner ear), although my neck situation may be contributing as well. Lots of meds make me dizzy which is a problem now for me. What can you suggest I take for the pain? Christine
