hi anil,
have you got an x-ray cervical spine,
whether your consultant say you got disc prolapse,usually disc erosion are common in IT people,due to their continuous work and in old age people.
if its due to the disc, the pain is because of nerve compression.have an x-ray cervical spine and rule out the cause, avoid taking lot of pain killers, identify and treat the problem,accordingly
