Three months after the surgery of spinal cord cervical spondylosis, the nerve swelling and pain in the leg aggravates, considering that it is caused by nerve injury, poor healing of surgical wounds, and motor disorders.
1. Nerve injury: If the patient’s nerves have been injured before the surgery or the spinal nerves have been injured during the surgery, it may cause sensory abnormalities and dyskinesia in the corresponding parts innervated by the injured nerves, such as swelling, pain, numbness and other symptoms of the limbs.
2. Poor wound healing: severe poor wound healing can cause blood vessels and nerves to be compressed, which can lead to abnormal sensation and pain in the compressed nerves; poor wound healing can also cause infections, which can lead to inflammatory mediators invading the nerves and muscles, resulting in swelling and pain in the nerves of the leg.
3. Movement disorders: It is common for patients to be bedridden for a long time or have insufficient exercise after surgery, which can lead to stiffness of joints, muscle and nerve atrophy, etc., causing pain and numbness due to nerve compression.
There are many reasons for the aggravation of nerve swelling and pain in the legs three months after spinal cervical spondylosis surgery, for example, the patient himself has a herniated lumbar disc, which aggravates three months after the surgery, and the herniated lumbar disc compresses the nerve root and causes symptoms such as swelling and pain in the nerves of the legs. It is recommended to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease.
