Brief Answer:
Slip please disc needs lifestyle modification, medication, Physiotherapy

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

You seem to be having slip disc of the spine in the neck. The disc is pressing on one of the nerves to your left arm which is causing the pain.

I advise you to avoid bending forward or lifting weights. Apply hot water bag over the painful regions. Wear a soft cervical collar around the neck when you sit or stand. Remove it when your sleep. Avoid using thick pillow. Either use a very thin pillow or don't use a pillow while sleeping. Take Tablet Myospas Th 8mg twice a day for 5 days after meals. This can cause drowsiness so don't take it before driving.

Consult a Physiotherapist to advise on neck extension exercises and neck muscle strengthening exercises.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
