[|Human|] Hello, I have been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis; also the beginning of a cervical hernia is showing on my RMI. I am a woman, 29 years old, and have had pain and contractions in my upper back/neck for more years than I can remember :) Lately, even I sleep between 7 and 9 hours a night (and at least 4-5 nights in a row getting 7-9 hours) I wake up feeling incredibly sleepy to the point where I cannot function. My eyes are really swollen and hurt, my head is heavy, I cannot focus and basically I would be almost willing to lose my job if it meant I could sleep in the morning instead of having to wake up and go to work. I am not functioning for at least 1 hour after getting up and after that I am barely functional anyway. Coffee isn t helping anymore. Could it be related to the spondylosis and or hernia? Could the quality of the mattress I sleep on contribute to my problem? (because I slept on a hotel bed for a couple of nights and I felt much better in the morning with the same 8 hours of sleep). Any other suggestions? All my standard tests (like employment blood tests etc) have come back within normal limits..
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of cervical nerve root there can be pain. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication like pregabalin and methylcobalamine can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights. Continue your Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. If nerve compression becomes symptomatically severe then surgical decompression will give permanent relief. You can attach your MRI report or film so that I can help you better. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
