Hello,

I have studied your case.
In cervical spine severe osteoarthritis you can get relief with local steroid injection shot.
Continue your Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin and methylcobalamine can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Epidural injection shot may help if no relief.
You can consult orthopaedic doctor for this.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
