Straightening of cervical spine
I was having some pain in neck and my sternum also hurts while getting up from bed and while coughing. Sometimes I've headaches and vertigo too. I also have pain in joints sometimes. So the doctor advised x-ray of neck which shows straightening of cervical spine.
I'm mother of 3. My eldest one is 3 years old and younger one is 4 months old. I've cesarean delivery for all 3 of them.
Please suggest me what shoud I go for?

As of now since you are breast feeding let's not give you any pain killer medicines let's try to keep you treated conservativly with a collar neck support and use a very soft pillow when sleeping... Try not to see your mobile or read books in sleeping position.. Sleep on your back with neck straight 20 mints twice daily.. As for your pain sternum try topical voveran gel. Your giddiness will stop once to start wearing your color neck...
Next Steps
If it doesn't resolve try to consult a orthopaedic doctor for MRI and further expertise
Health Tips
You should be OK with collar neck support worn only when you are awake. Remove it on sleeping..
