Patient: Hi Doctor, It is awesome to have your noble advise to mankind. I appreciate from my heart. I am 50 years now and had some pain in the right side of my back. Consulted Orthopaedic surgeon explained my problem. It was diagnosed as Cervical Spondilitis. Prescribed with Aceclofenac & Paracetamol tab 1 a day after food. Feeling much much better this is due 10 tabs I have used a week back. Do I need to use if I get pain. Please advise and will there be any side effects. Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM If you take some precautions than you may not need any medication for a long time: 1. Avoid jerky movements of the neck. 2. NO pillow for sleeping 3. Use hard bed. 4. Don't keep the neck in single posture for a long time. 5. Do regular cervical exercise as advised by your physiotherapist. Now about the side effects of the medication: long term continuous use of this medication can show it effects like hepatic and renal dysfunction, nausea, depression, stomach discomfort etc. But occasional use are allow for a long term also. If you feel any of the side effect in you than immediately discontinue the medicine. Best Wishes
