Straightening of cervical
Straightening of cervical spine, Osteophytes, Disc degeneration, Reduced height, Diffuse disc bulge with posterior annular fissure, Para central protrusion compression thecal sacs, indent of spinal cord No history of any spinal injury. Just woke up 1 more with an acute/ unbearable pain in neck. Was immediately taken to hospital and was given high degree pain killers.
Thank you so much doctor for explaining the report.
The doctor has given the following medicines:
1. Trivit (Vitamins B1, B6, B12) -once a day for 3 months
2. Vita-D (Cholecalciferol 125 μg)- once a week for 3 months
3. Lyrica, 75 mg - twice daily for 2 weeks
The problem is that he doesn't want to take the pain killer (Lyrica) as one gets addicted to these and also they have side effects on your kidney. And if he skips this particular medicine then the pain is unbearable.
Pls. advice.
Also, he is taking physiotherapy .

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
He should continue all the medications .
Lyrics is a substance called pregabalin 75mg which works wonders in neurologic pain.
There can be some unpleasant experience while stopping the medication but it doesn't mean one is addicted to it.
The medicine needs to be stopped gradually.
If he doesn't want to take, his wish, he will have to be in pain.
Best regards.
Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
