Suggest Treatment For Degeneration Of The Spine/arthritis

I have been diagnosed with degeneration of the spine/arthritis. The xray is showing the natural curvature of my neck no longer exists. What steps can I take to manage this situation as I am in constant pain and discomfort. I am very concerned that I may not be able to function properly in the near future.

Hi ,Welcome to healthcare magic.Degenerated spine is as a result of aging. No need to worry. You can very well function properly in future. Management of this is analgesics(Diclofenac sodium 100mg slow release tablets),diacerine 50 mg daily,glucosamine 1500mg daily and neck exercises.I think this will be of use to you.
