Please let me know the remedies ? Is it curable or not ? and how serious is this in future ? What are the medications that I should take? I would be grateful if you could advise me about the treatmen
Hi I have gone though your description and your MRI report. In my opinion, as you are suffering from PIVD C4-5 , C5-6 (L) sided , all your symptoms are explained except leg symptoms. In my practice I would advice painkillers muscle relaxants ,physiotherapy and Isometric Neck Exercises for 10-15 days following which I will go only for Exercises and postural adjustments as long term solution.
