Suffer From Cervical Spondylosis. No Relief From Pain Medication. What To Do?

Hi, I suffer from cervical spondylosis of c4, c5, c6 n c 7. Medication has stopped having an effect on the pain. Even tramadol 500 mg or heavy muscle relaxants like Procyvon etc do not give me relief. Have stopped taking medication n started yoga. The severity n frequency has gone down now but I still get pain twice a week instead of 4 -5 times a week earlier and the pain always starts in d morning on waking up.
Pls advise

1. because diagnosis was made prior to treatment/medication it might be presumed that factors like subclavian stenosis/ cervical facet syndrome were ruled out?
2. is morning pain associated with any numbness in arms,vertigo,or restriction of neck movements?
3.
.try avoiding curd, jaggery,heavy and constipating food at night.
. make sure to avoid late nights and afternoon naps.
.avoid stress,to back or spine,prefer hot water to drink
. treatment may/may not RELIABLY stops progression of the disease,treatment aims to delay further deformity through good posture,stretching and deep breathing exercise.
. You can consult an Ayurveda Physician there for ama pachana (toxin absorption)
.ama nirhana (toxin elimination) and shothahar (anti inflammatory) treatment.
.in between you can take natural calcium supplements like guggulu, muktashukti, milk,guava,sitaphal,ashwagandha
