Question:

Started out as some weakness in upper extremities which was followed by tenderness near ear canal, right side, below sideburn (vicinity of accessory nerve). Next day weakness increases and pain is focused primarily in neck area. The next day isolated pain is gone and overall throbbing, stiffness and pain is radiating in area of shoulders and neck, both sides, but primarily on right. Pain is intense for about 7 days. Pain subsides weakness increases. After 2 weeks an upper respiratory problem, similar to sinus infection, but improves after one week.

Cervical Spondylosis Cure

A few simple questions before the diagnosis can be confirmed.

Do you feel giddy while attempting to look sideways or getting up from the bed? Did you get a cervical X ray done? Do you work for long times in front of the computer?

The symptoms that you have mentioned are indicative of cervical spondylitis (which should have been detected in the MRI scan).

There are some simple things that you can do,

1. Firstly, try simple neck exercises like rotating your neck, looking side ways, looking up and down, rotating your shoulders, etc. Begin with five exercises and gradually increase the frequency of the exercise
2. Try taking frequent breaks while working at the computer. This is essential as your cervical spine is increasingly getting stressed due to a particular fixed posture. Try the simple exercise when taking a break
3. Use a cervical collar. This will help keep the cervical spine erect and reduce strain.
4. Try hot fomentation. This increases the blood supply around the spine and aids in improving the condition
5. Don’t use a pillow under your head. Try to sleep supine without a pillow and let your head remain in alignment with the rest of the spine.
6. Increase your calcium intake by increasing the consumption of milk or diary products
