<s>[INST] I am currently on blood thinners as I have a history of blood clots. I have had a back ache on my left side for over two months now, while camping a month I tripped over one of our dogs on a down hill slope, I slammed my forehead which went back and I heard a pop in my neck. since then I have had head aches every morning, night and in between. they are from mile to moderate with terrible cramping in my neck. I have since developed cramping in the joints of the left side of my body, which includes fingers, arm, elbows, shoulder, neck, etc. last night at work I got light headed, with a headache, weakness, and felt as if I was to pass out. Again, I still have the left pain/back ache for the last two plus months. could this be related to my blood clots, or something else? And when I fell and snapped my neck a month ago could this have made things worse? i can t even spell it but it is authritis in the spine where the cushion has disappeared and it is bone on bone. [/INST] you must undergo thorough check up by an orthopedic. A few x-rays? MRI spine may be needed. You may be requiring anti-inflammatory medicine like naproxen and certain precautions for neck and spine which may be decided after diagnosis by orthopedic doctorArthritis is due to degenerative changes in joints commonly which should be diagnosed early to enable doctors to control them early and prevent disabilities for future Best Wishes, </s>
