People Poll Are You Optimistic About The Nation's Economy? sleep in, perhaps your doctor will prescribe a supporting collar you can wear at night. It is hard to find a good position to sleep in when you have a sore neck, and a neck support will often help solve the problem without putting your neck in an undesirable position.

People with a variety of neck problems find they cannot or should not lift heavy objects or do any type of straining activity. If all goes well, you may be able to return to fairly normal activity in a reasonably short length of time. Again, though, that depends upon the real cause of the spur formation itself.

Relieves Bone Spurs JOHN SCHOENWANDT Acres "Well, the way that things are going I really don't know." relieve some of the milder cases. In other instances traction, such as you are using, and other measures are necessary.

When the problem is a degenerated cervical disc it can be corrected surgically if more conservative treatment doesn't get results. Some spurs can be removed as can other bony growths. However, each case has to be judged on its own merits. Sometimes spurs are a regrowth of bone that has degenerated because of disease, such as arthritis. In these instances surgery may not be desirable.

Of course, if there is pressure on a vital area of the spinal cord or nerves, surgery may be mandatory. Surgery can be useful in some cases where the joints or spine are damaged by arthritis. I think you should follow your present program under your doctor's advice. You may be pleasantly surprised with the good results you get in time.

4 MARTHA SPANGLER Myers "Yes, we went through one depression and we can go through this." Traction DEAR DR. LAMB My problem has recently been diagnosed as cervical bone spurs. My left arm began aching severely and after a few weeks my forefinger began to get numb. My doctor ordered cervical spine rays which revealed the spurs. I obtained a traction outfit which I am now using twice daily, gradually increasing the weight.

It has helped to relieve pain, but I find I must be careful not to lift heavy objects or stretch my arm to any extent. It is also difficult finding a comfortable position in which to sleep. I received the impression from my doctor that there is not much that can be done for cervical spurs. Needless to say, this is extremely depressing. I am female and 48 years old, not terribly overweight and in good health otherwise.

I had a hysterectomy two years ago. I'm taking female hormones. Is it possible to have these spurs removed surgically, and if they are, will they grow back or will new ones keep growing? My fears are due to my mother having had three spurs removed from her heels in the past NORTH FORT MYERS CHURCH OF CHRIST corner of Pine Island and Tenn. Rd. Sun.
