Also, at this stage, you require medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules to relieve the nerve pain, arising due to nerve compression in the neck. In addition, you would also benefit from physiotherapy, such as ITultrasound to relieve the pain, and neck extension exercises. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly
