Q: I was diagnosed with loss of the lower lumbar spondylosis precisely ten years go. However, I noticed that I normally have body pain and muscular spasms which in the last three years are becoming severe. I sometimes feel the pains around my waist, shoulders, and the neck. Please advise on what to do, and the right exercise or medication that I can take to reduce the pain. Will it require surgery?

A:I suggest you get an X-ray of your lumbar as well as your cervical spine and a detailed clinical examination done. Only then would one be able to tell you exactly the exercises to be done. In the meantime, I suggest, you take rest and do some hot water fomentation for your neck and back.
