question: I am 66 and have just been told I have cervical spondylosis. I am slightly overweight but very regular with my morning and evening walks. I have been put on Signoflam tablets twice daily and Volitra gel for a week. Hourly exercises involving my neck have also been prescribed. After a week, the orthopedist has said he will review if I should go in for physio therapy. I have a nagging pain in my left shoulder and sometimes the pain travels down my left hand. Both hands feel weak most of the time. I am not into full time work, so do not sit at one place for long. I work on my computer for a few hours a day, checking mails, blogging and doing surfing. What lies ahead and what precautions I can take?
