Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As your doctors have diagnosed ,it may not be a simple spondylosis, and may need further evaluation.
If it is only spondylosis, the traction may be required to relieve the pressure over the nerves.
If there is some problem with the spine it self, there are possibilities of replacement of spine.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
