cervical disc degeneration - is the computer to blame

[Hessa]

As your physiotherapist to observe your posture first to see what is abnormal in your posture
then ask him the correct posture so you can adopt it while sitting infront of computer, also do the excercises that your physiotherapist taught you ( Do them every 30 min). relax you reslf as much as you can , and be cool because nervous increase neck pain
also use a hot back applied while you are sitting on you office ( applied for 15 min)

Dear hessa,

Thank you for your reply ,
i showed your reply to my physio and he did show me the correct posture
I just never seem to keep it for long.

my physio thinks i am too tense period, hes probably right, mind u I live in a tense country, Palestine, so its hard to relax .

when you say hot packs, what are these , un mean hot watre bottles, where should i apply them and how long

thanks again for taking the time to reply

Hi
I think the problem you have described is suffered by many others like you and there is not much to worry about. Your probably require a thorough assessment of cervical spine, posture as well as your habits. Additionally, you also need to understand the activities and the intervals in which you suffer the most and what probably gives you relief.
Postural re-education, strengthening of weak muscles, avoiding painful activities or modifying them for some time, evaluating your workstation and use of a good pillow while sleeping are the key areas you need to work on.
