I've had cervical radiculopathy for 4 years. tried pt,acupuncture,epidurals and chiropractic adjustments. i don't qualify for surgery. what to do?

You might: Try omega-3 EPA fish oil, can't hurt, helps some with back problems from anti inflammatory effects, available as dietary supplement or prescription Vascepa

Multiple modalities: Mid twenties person with cervical radiculopathy resistent to chiro, acupunture, and PT needs to see Osteopath, try cervical traction (Saunders), correct head tilt and use medicinal cannabis massages.

Cervical radiculopat: This is not an easy question. Essentially if you have failed all possible non-surgical treatments and the symptoms are significant then surgery is an option - but finding a surgeon may be difficult. Another option is a Spinal Stimulator - but an evaluation of canal patency needs to be done. Keep in mind that if the stimulator helps it does not prevent surgery down the road.

Medication management: It sounds like you are a candidate for medication management. These medications may include antidepressants or anticonvulsants. This type of therapy is very good for nerve type pain. The type of paint you are describing.
