I have recently been diagnosed with cervical spondilosis in my neck and in pain most of the time with prescription painkillers .... i cant take anti in flammtory tabs as i am allergic to them.
I am looking for a part time job but really dont know what sort of thing would be best to do any ideas ???

Now that my symptoms have got worse I wish that I had taken things easier, instead of continuing in a career that is hard on even the fittest of people.
If you get it in your early thirties, like I did, the pain tends to be a bit more severe, according to my research, but when you get into your 50's and 60's the pain apparently reduces in it's severity, great only 10 to 20 years to go for me then.
what job did you do and how long did you work with your pain as i was working up until june this year till the doctor said no more heavy lifting which i did quite a lot of.

I have used deep heat to good effect with my neck, but you will have good and bad days, physio helps aswell.
I have now developed thoracic spondylosis after a fall at work, about 6 foot onto my back, landing on concrete, but the was nearly three years ago, I was still lifting and carrying till about two or three months ago, but the inflammatory arthritis is the final nail in the coffin for me, along with the fibromyalgia.
One thing you will find, if you become less active your pain will increase, as the muscles in your back and neck will weaken.
The only thing that I couldn't continue to do after developing cervical spondylosis was ride a motorbike. As that wind and weight of the helmet made the pain worse.
Everybody has some spondylosis, but when you have a "trigger" incident, such as your accident will tend to exacerbate any mdee symptoms you may Have had up roll that point.
Hi there
i can't take any antiflams as i have severe anaphlactic reactions having to have adrenilan so i am limited to what i can use or take on co codamol from gp as well as amitriptaline.
Been to see orthapedic consoltant about the accident he thinks the accident did not cause it i agree but i think it has exaberted it as i did not know i had it at the time and i am now always in pain which i never was.
hope your ok
p.s my husband also works for the london ambulance service
