Suggest Treatment For Cervical Pain

I have cervical pain and have been diagnosed with C5-C6 disc prolapsed. I was advised to undergo surgery by my neurosurgeon. When contacted to a senior neurosurgeon, he advised to take tryptomer 10mg in night daily and avoid surgery. I still have pain. Please advise.

Hello,

I have studied your case and your report.

If large disc bulge is compressing over spinal cord you may need to operate.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

If nerve compression becomes symptomatically severe then surgical decompression will give permanent relief.
You can send your MRI.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
