I don t have money to pay for this I m on a fixed income and I m disable.Thank you much! [/INST] Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms, and it is unfortunate that you require surgery, a major one, and you do not have money to pay for that. Other than surgery, physiotherapy would be very useful. This would include back and neck extension exercises, IT/ultrasound for pain relief, etc. Also, if you have nerve-related pain, then, medications such as pregabalin capsules would help. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/ </s>
