General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, you need to have repeat Xray of the cervical spine as well CT scan or MRI if needed.

Orthopedic surgeon or neurosurgeon review may also be needed. Meanwhile OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be used.

Avoid heavy weight bearing or strenous tasks unless any structural lesion in spine isn't ruled out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
