Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

Please upload the report of xray and CT SCAN, I want to see the reports, so that I can help you in a proper way.

Medicine you are taking is ok, but I would like to advise you to have cap.pregabalin+methylcobalamine combination, have it by prescrition of your doctor.

This medicine will improve the pain and nerve status also.

Wear cervical collar with chin support.

Thanks,

Dr.CHANDER XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
