Cervical radiculopathy
My friend had back pain 3 months back and then suddenly pain started in her left hand from shoulder to tip of the hand. She get the painkillers at the time and joined therapy sessions regularly. She also focused on workout and diet and it's got better with time. But few days back she again got pain in right hand(from shoulder to tip of fingers) suddenly in the middle of the night and only got better after taking painkiller.
What if the permanent solution for this. What precautions she needs to take health wise , food wise and anything else ?
