My doctor prescribed Etoshine tablets for my spinal pain, my C5 and C6 are bulged. Is this medicine the only pain killer or cure for the disease? Please advise as I am very confused and in a lot of pain. ## This is a Cox2 Inhibitor, meaning it basically works a powerful anti-inflammatory and is commonly prescribed for these types of conditions. Most herniated discs clear up by themselves over time, your doctor is trying to get the inflammation to go down, so they will slip back where they belong. ## Complete cure is sometimes could not possible.
