[|Human|] I had spinal surgery in1977 (L4/L5). Lately, I have back discomfort on the upper right hand side, going up into my neck and experience tightness across my eyes and lightness in my head. I sometimes feel slight sickness. I am 70 and work on a sewing machine up to 4 hours each day as a fabric artist. I am having remedial massage, which helps. I plan to have my eyes re-tested next week.Thanks
[|AI|]  Hi, welcome to our site. I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query might be developing the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. The features you are mentioned are typical to it. The work on sewing machine may aggravate the symptoms as the rotor that you move with your arm may further tax the already affected nerves. I would suggest an x-ray of the cervical spine, and an MRI (if possible). If this turns out to be the condition, you may need physiotherapy, with a prescription of pregabalin and methycobalaminI hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other, so I can be of help further. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided.
