I don t have money to pay for this I m on a fixed income and I m disable.Thank you much!  <response>: Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms, and it is unfortunate that you require surgery, a major one, and you do not have money to pay for that. Other than surgery, physiotherapy would be very useful. This would include back and neck extension exercises, ITultrasound for pain relief, etc. Also, if you have nerve-related pain, then, medications such as pregabalin capsules would help. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly
