Hi Mr. Lybrate-user, I appreciate you seeking help. Its indeed good to know that you are now free from your h&n carcinoma and doing well on this front. Please keep up your active lifestyle and continue with your periodical checkups as advised by your oncologist. As regards your present issue of spondylosis (lumbar & cervical), following is how you can get relief naturally - you can take'rumalaya' (himalaya) - 1 tab twice daily after food, for the next two weeks. Just make sure that you keep an hour of gap between the herbal medication as advised above, and any allopathic medications that you may be taking currently. Also, it is better to not use a cushion as it may put more strain around the neck leading to headache. You may apply any good quality and over the counter pain relief gel, preferably herbal'rumalaya gel' (himalaya) on the back side of your neck as well as in your lower back. Post applying gel, gently apply heat (low to medium as much as you can withstand) on the back side (of neck and the lower back) for about 30 minutes. In general, however, do streamline your diet and avoid oily and fried stuff. Consume more of fresh fruits & vegetables and stay hydrated, drink 8 - 10 glasses of water daily. Streamline your lifestyle, exercise (brisk walk) daily for at least 30 minutes, and try reducing your stress levels at work and also at home. Take care of your posture/ ergonomics while at work and also while at home. Do not lift heavy weights as this shall put pressure on the spine including the cervical spine as well as the lumbar spine. Remember relaxation/ de-stressing is equally important for your heath. Hope this helps. Do take care and all the very best. Sincerely.
