I could not find anything clearly about Uncinate Osteophytosis online. In fact Google instant suggested that I type Uncinate Oestophytes for getting results, which were are all Greek and Latin to me. I then proceeded to consult, my Gynecologist and a Pathologist relative of mine, who taught medical students.
My gynecologist who was also my relative, thought it was nothing to be worried about. But my online search about this(with changed keyword as ''bone spurs'') had me scared, because it was mild form of spondylitis, but I had one symptom that indicated its severity. Neck ache would radiate to head and cause me to throw up everything, even water. I would then have to simply sleep for very long, I once slept for about one and a half day. After which, it would be bearable, but nagging pain is always present in the neck.
I came to know about this condition, from my regular physician, I went to, after that sleep marathon incident. She suggested two X-Ray tests for neck, in strange poses. After seeing the report, she could not understand much either, so she recommended that I consult an Orthopedic.
I went to my regular Orthopedic, whom I had gone to, when I had similar ache for my right shoulder(It was immovable for days together). He simply suggested that it was common condition and nothing to be worried about. He prescribed pain killers to be taken, whenever I had severe pain. I remembered that for getting over my shoulder ache, I had started taking up Surya Namaskara(series of Yoga poses that give salutations to the Sun God) and other pain relieving exercises for shoulder. But, after I was relieved of pain, I completely stopped practicing it.
Well, I then happened to discuss this with a Pathologist relative, who knew the theory well, she said, bone cells growth was more than usual, and this growth at the neck, will cause muscles to get stressed and cause pain. Medication can only help relieve pain temporarily.
To which I asked, how did exercise relieve my pain then? She replied saying, it will loosen the muscles and thus help in movement without pain. I was surprised, How could I get such a condition, I was not very heavy built or one who consumed more milk products, nor had enough milk myself, I was so miser when it came to feeding myself. In fact, My gynecologist had suggested that I take Calcium supplement for the lack of it may result in greater complications, which was stopped as soon as she saw this report about active bone growth cells.
I had very long discussion with my Pathologist relative, who gave me a scare, when she concluded that there are stages through which a person will find himself or herself going through. Initially, there will be mild pain, without any necessity for medication or exercises, the next stage is when, exercise is enough to get relieved from pain, but after a while exercise alone won't help. Medication also is needed, and the final stage where medication is also useless, at which stage, that person will be operated to remove that extra piece of bone growth.
I was horrified, but somehow gained strength and asked her what was to be done, she suggested that I stop intake of rich Calcium foods. I fell very ill, the next day itself. I was then told by my sister that neck ache was due to a thought process that constricted me from taking other's view point into consideration(I had stopped being submissive, since long time now). Now after diet changes, lifestyle changes, some positive thinking and respecting other's point of view has, given me painless days. I am without pain for more than a month now. I am thankful, to everything, every person, every thought that helped me get through this and gain control over it. More on positive thought and daily vedic shlokas that helped me attract positive thoughts, in my coming posts.
