Dear Dr. XXXXXXX
Thanks for letting me know that I have cervical spondylosis and advising me to wear a cervical collar for a week. I wore a cervical collar for a week until last Friday. While it did help me temporarily, the neck pain is still there. I also have pain in shoulder blades and at specific points in mid back and lower back. The pain is usually less in the mornings and as the day progresses, it increases. It's usually worse in late afternoons and in the evening. It gets better with sleep and sometimes with exercise.
Please advise what I can do to keep the pains under control and hopefully get rid of them.
