i was suffering from pain on my right side from past 12 yrs, initally the pain was slight and occured only sometimes, but gradually it increased and 4 yrs back it was diagnoised as cervical spondylosis at c4-c5

when i get the pain , it goes in my head and becomes unbearable and sleep was th only solution which wuld relive me from the pain

along with medication i had taken acupressure and acupuncture
during the treatment i was feeling good
with acupressure i wuld get instant relief , but now i have stopped the treatment. slight pain occurs . but any day if i do heavy work or even carry a handbag on my right side i get unbearable pain.

few days back i again took a digital cervical spine x-ray which shows degenerative changes in cervical spine with anteriior and posterior osteophytes at c4-c5 & c5-c6

disc space within normal limits.

how serious is it?
any whts teh remedy? and precautions to be taken
