You shall use cervical collar which would help you to reduce the radiating pain and also that would improve the cervical angle and improve the anatomical posture. The pain a...more

gabapin can be taken upto a lot more dose than you're taking.

I usually start with 100 mg once and raise it to 450 mg thrice as and how the patient tolerates
baclofen or liofen can also be increased (added with daily stretching exercises) to decrease stiffness

In operation room he ordered to my mother inhale breath during anaesthesia. My mother suffered lot of panic and breathe problem before and after anaesthesia. This is right way to handle old woman? After complete urls procedure my mother faced breathing problems, nurse and doctor didn't notice. What was wrong with anaesthesia? 2 years back I (24 year) did laparoscopic surgery for chocolate cyst (endometriosis). At that time anaesthetic gave me one injection in iv in operation room. I'm unconscious within 30 seconds. Why was not happened to my mother like me? This was correct inhale breath during anaesthesia? Now my doctor prescribed me urispas table in night. But my mother not conscious fully operation done on 5 pm today now 11. 55 pm nurse compulsion to my mother take urispas in empty stomach.
