[|Human|] I have been diagnosed for Disc prolapse on L 6-7 left shoulder and left arm pain for the last 1.5 months. I was treated with pain killers and now been asked to do neck exercises. At the begnning situation was improved and I started the neck Exercise. When I do the exercise I expereince pain which I didnt have for the last couple of days. When I consulted the doctor he advised to take Dicloran 75Mg for one week to manage the pain during the exercise. Is pain is natural during exercise? Please advise. Thank you.

[|AI|]  Hi, I understand your concern. Physiotherapy is one of the treatment options available in the treatment of cervical disc prolapse. Here pain reduction occurs gradually; however if the pain is immense it is advisable to avoid those.  In these circumstances, if I were to be your treating doctor, I would suggest you to continue the analgesics prescribed to you along with warm compresses. We can hold the physiotherapy till pain reduces. Restart it slowly after pain reduction.  Discuss this with your treating doctor. Hope this helps. Regards
