Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and it is unfortunate that you require surgery, a major one, and you do not have money to pay for that.

Other than surgery, physiotherapy would be very useful. This would include back and neck extension exercises, IFT/ultrasound for pain relief, etc.

Also, if you have nerve-related pain, then, medications such as pregabalin capsules would help.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
