[|Human|] - I have been diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy over the weekend. I am an RN who works in ER x the past 28 yrs. And I know a lot of it is due wear and tear on my body. Until I see my physio - which is in 3 days time - is there ANYTHING I can do to help lessen the pain? Pain in localized - burning and 7/10 - localized in my right bicep area.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. Sorry to know about the pain and discomfort you are having. As you have an appointment with the physiotherapist in 3 days, the following measures can help reduce your pain.(i) avoid sudden neck movements(ii) do not use a pillow while sleeping(iii) avoid lifting heavy objects(iv) wear a soft collar if it is available(v) take over the counter pain relievers(vi) gently apply muscle relaxants and pain reliever ointments on your neck
