hi,

Thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As mentioned by you, about your pain which is shooting in nature, and also the chronic neck and back pain. I will recommend you to undergo and orthopedic assessment test of the cervical and lumbar spine. Also, dude to degenerative disc disease the symptoms of radiating pain will arise. So getting an MRI scan of the cervical and lumbar spine will be recommended.

The treatment line will be kept simple as you are 69 years.

- Rest
- Medication
- Physcial Therapy.

99% of patients of mine have recovered at this age and above with the above mentioned treatment line.

I wish the same from you and also wish you a healthy life ahead.

Regards
Jay Indravadan Patel
