Deteriorated Cervical Spine. On Norspan Patches. Done CT Scan. Will It Help?
Hi there, I am 63 years of age. I know I've had some problems with my 'Spine' in general. 3 months ago my GP organised a season with Physio. That was 03/07/13. I have been in agony basically ever since. I had CTScan done last week. The easy answer is that I have a VERY SERIOUSLY deteriorated cervical spine. I have a 'collar' but that puts all the 'pressure' o the from and almost no support for my spine. I NEED something to really support my SPINE not my neck. Do you have any suggestions? My Dr put me onto Norspan 5mg patches yesterday. Thanking you, Ella Demp
Hi, it appears that the condition is due to the osteoporosis, and may be hypovitaminosis D. When these two are corrected you can go for surgical correction of the cervical spine. Any how orthopedic surgeon only can decide the treatment. I advise you to take green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods. Thank you.
