Consult a: Neurologist and Neurosurgeon. Based on the limited information available here, you need to have a specialist guide you through the options for treatment of your pain up and including the point at which you may need surgery. Depending on the severity of the structural abnormality, you may benefit from rest, NSAIDS, physical therapy, or chiropractic care. Steroid injections can be helpful in the proper situation.
