Suggest Treatment For Bone Degeneration In Neck
Hi I got rear ended in Aug. 2013 --- May 2014 documented in my medical records stated that while under a scope was injected into my neck so the doctor could inject nerve blocks - from C2 through C5...that there was bone detiration (I cannot spell it) --- it is now July. What happens now? Before I read this in my medical chart they told me that they have to set up another nerve block. Before it was just injections to nerve blocks all sets of three. After this will they do something about the bones?

hi,
thanks for the brief history
to look into the case of degeneration let's begin with the human body metabolism. as now the ageing process keeps developing with years passing by the degeneration of the bones is a natural process.
since you have already undergone the nerve blocks why don't you discuss with your physician if you can undergo physical therapy. It is totally non invasive and it is a scientific approach to human body.
with the physical therapy you can under a therapeutic ultrasound therapy for reactivting the cellular mechanism and also the TENS therapy for your pain. alsozl, post this some simple free exrrcises and later on some strenthening exercises will be guided amd it will ease the compression of the nerves.
also looking into the fact that you have bone degeneration, general body exercises will help boost the metabolism and calcium deposition in the bones will be good.
ofcourse the process is time consuming but the efffective as well.
as personally i have been seeing the cervical disc prolapse and degenerative bone cases, i have found that breathing exercises, physical therapy and medication has given a classical change in patients.
also to mention one natural way of having good vitamin D is to take sun baths.
with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
