[/INST] Hello & Welcome to Chat Doctor, I had gone through the case and found that these are for temporary relief. You must go for proper cervical exercise with Vitamin D-3 once a week with milk and avoid bad lifestyle. Do not use pillow or use cervical pillow for sleep. Having more pain than can take painkiller.
