Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Your condition requires the pain to be treated with strong pain relief options. There is spinal muscular atrophy which is slowly progressive in nature. The pain is to be controlled as per the discomfort you are having. Please consult your neurologist and express your symptoms in detail.

There are many pain relief methods available and you might increase your pain relief when there is neck and back pain. At other times you might continue on lower dose of pain relief. Please have a strong will power to use your muscle as much possible. Please do not worry.
