I am 80 years old male, having almost normal health except mild Hypertension from the last 8/10 years. I am taking one tablets Embeta A.M daily in the morning and my B.P is almost in normal limits of about 80 to 135. I enjoy morning walk for about 40 minutes daily. From last two months I am having neck and lower head pain. My Cervical Spine X-ray AP and LAT view shows reduction in C5-6 and C6-7 Space. I am advised some exercises and Gabapin one tablet, Fitneuron one capsules and etoshine M R one tablet. And one pouch of Vitamin D3 each week. I have about 80 percent relieve. What should be the subsequent treatment for complete recovery in later life.

Hi, From whatever information you have given your treatment line looks to be heading in right direction. Gabapin can be continued for 3 months of necessary. Vit D3 for 6-8 weeks. Continue the neck strengthening exercises and make it a part of your daily routine. Please keep in mind that the space reduction in the cervical spine won't improve but your symptoms will improve. If you don't want the symptoms to reappear again please continue the exercises.

Dear Sir I hope the pain is not radiating into your arms. If not, you can consider asking your primary physician to taper and stop Gabapin over the next few weeks. Other medicines can be continued/tapered as per your physician. The most important measure that will help you in preventing this pain in future is regular stretching exercises of the neck (accompanied by hot fomentation). Nothing extra needs to be done. Do NOT wear a cervical collar, it will worsen your problem. Regards.
