Hello,
You have been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis. Now you have pain from head to toe. Your symptoms are indicative of cervical spondylosis with myelopathy that causes pain and weakness of the foot or arms or the side affected. Other symptoms are tingling, numbness or weakness in the arms, hands, legs, or feet.
Treatment includes physical therapy, Physical therapy helps to stretch neck and shoulder muscles and strengthen them. This makes them stronger and ultimately helps to relieve pain. Get clinically examined by a GP, you may need medicines like NSAIDS, muscle relaxants, steroid injections, etc. If your condition is severe and doesn’t respond to other forms of treatment, you might need surgery. Soft neck brace or soft collar worn on neck may give you temporary relief. Regular exercise and heat therapy are effective. Stay away from addictions if any.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
