Yes, pain is due to cervical disease.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your symptoms, and agree that the symptoms are due to cervical disc disease. A nerve in the neck gets pinched due to bulging of discs.

The diagnosis can be confirmed by doing MRI scan of cervical spine.

Pain relief can be obtained with pregabalin capsules. Physiotherapy may be started after the MRI reports.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
Apollo Hospitals, XXXXXXX
