Cervical radiofrequency ablation hand numbness is not relieved may be a temporary reaction caused by the surgery, or caused by the nerve compression has not been restored, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to clarify.
1. Temporary reaction caused by surgery: When the patient has cervical disc herniation or cervical osteophytes before surgery, the herniated discs or bone cumbers may compress the cervical spinal cord and nerves during the surgery, resulting in irritating edema, which will cause numbness of the hand after surgery. This is a normal situation, after a period of time, the edema can be eliminated and return to normal.
2. Nerve compression has not been restored: cervical spondylosis is mostly caused by herniated intervertebral discs compressing the nerves and spinal cord, and although the compression is lifted after cervical radiofrequency ablation, there may be a situation where the nerve compression is too long, resulting in localized degeneration of the nerves and spinal cord, and the recovery of the nerves and spinal cord may be relatively difficult. It may take longer for the symptoms of hand numbness to disappear and be relieved.
In the presence of the above factors, if the hand numbness is not relieved after a period of time, it is recommended to consult a doctor for clarification.
