I was having neck and shoulder issues. So I consulted with a specialist and after x-rays he told me it is something called bamboo spine which is caused by muscle spams. But as the pain is too old, he told me that I have to go for MRI. Now I want to know what exercises can I do to get more relief and can I go to gym. Please prescribed me some medicines for ten days.
