Cervical spondylosis problems

by Darlene111, Nov 09, 2008 09:02PM
I have been diagnosed with Mild to moderate cervical spondylosis and disc degeneration mostly at c5-6 and to a lesser extend at c6-7.  This seems to be making me dizzy or off balance when I sit.  Also, sometimes my head feels to heavy for my neck.  Any clues how to fix this? Is this normal with this kind of dx? Do most doctors recommend physical therapy or surgery? I am having a cervical MRI done this week.

I just got my MRI results that show spondylosis C2-C7 and also narrowing of the spinal canal.  I was having severe pain. Prescribed Nsaid and an additional pain medication by my neurologist.  I have read that wearing a cervical collar during the day, for several hours, can also help.
