Suggest Treatment For Tenderness In Neck.

I have neck problems, tried chiropractor, but made it worse. Had scoliosis and my neck is very tender. I sleep with a scarf wrapped around my tender neck and my head on a gel pillow. I tried foam but it did not help. I tried a bean pillow but did not help. What do you suggest?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain.
Also there can be large disc bulge which is compressing over spinal cord.

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 you 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.

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.
