Dear Dr. Corenman,
First of all thanks for this forum,
In Oct-2010, a car hit our car from backside and i felt a severe pain at backside of head. After 15 days, through CT scan it came in notice that i have got dislocation of c0 and c1. Then i went for traction followed by cervical collar for 15 days. Unfortunately, it did not help me out and condition is as it is till date and managing my pain by taking painkiller on fortnight basis. Many times i feel numbness around my neck and pain increase if i pull any sort of weight.
I am a finance professional and my work usually require long sitting hours. I do lot of meditation and read books to avoid this pain. But don’t know that how to bear this in long term. I have contacted more than 3 top most hospitals of our country and all of them have the same answer “it is difficult and dangerous to deal with this area and you have to manage this with time”.
Writing to you with a great hope, please advice…
