Are you ready and do you have a general understanding of your disease? Patients can be roughly divided into the following symptom groups, the following in accordance with the number of visits to the clinic in descending order to illustrate (limited to spinal disorders): 1, neck, back and lumbar pain, aches and pains, discomfort: the largest number of such patients. Most patients have short-lived symptoms related to exertion or cold, some are acute sprains, such as lumbar sprains, pillow, etc., which can be relieved after rest, or recurring, but the symptoms are generally not serious, if the imaging data are not abnormal, usually diagnosed as muscle soft tissue strain, myofasciitis, soft tissue injuries, etc., and the treatment modalities are rest, oral anti-inflammatory pain relieving and blood circulation medications, topical pain relieving emulsions or patches Physical therapy (hot compresses or baking electricity), acupuncture or cupping, and so on. Of course, the pain is more intense or longer need to rule out spinal bone lesions, such as infections, tumors or rheumatic diseases, need special imaging or blood tests. 2.Lumbar and leg pain: lumbar pain, hip pain, leg pain (can be unilateral or bilateral), often from one side or both sides of the buttocks to the legs of the radiating sensation, can also be numbness, or cold, suffocating, “sleepy” feeling, some patients can be intermittent claudication, i.e., walking a distance after the lumbar pain, buttock and lower limb pain and numbness, and can not continue to walk, or barely continue to walk. Some patients may experience intermittent claudication, i.e. after walking for a certain distance, they feel back pain, pain and numbness in the buttocks and lower limbs, and can’t continue to walk, or they can barely continue to walk, and then sit down or squat down to take a rest for a while, but the above symptoms appear again after walking for a certain distance. Such symptoms may be caused by lumbar disc herniation or lumbar spinal stenosis compressing the nerves, and it is often necessary to perform lumbar spine CT or MRI examination, and then according to the results to decide the next step in the treatment program. 3.Pain in neck, shoulder and upper limbs, numbness and weakness of limbs, inflexibility of hands, unsteady walking: such symptoms are related to the cervical spine, often suggesting cervical spondylosis, cervical spinal cord or nerve root compression, patients may only show some of the above symptoms, which are related to the degree and location of nerve compression, and need to be examined by cervical spine MRI, to clarify whether surgical treatment is needed. 4, spinal deformation: broadly speaking, spinal deformation includes any changes that do not conform to the normal shape of the spine, but in fact, most of them are relatively light and not easy to be detected in appearance, such as: cervical physiological curvature straightening, lumbar vertebrae paraplegia, and other imaging descriptions, which are not of great practical significance. However, the obvious, the appearance can be seen, produce obvious pain symptoms, the deformation of the greater impact on life is likely to need treatment, or even surgical orthopedics. 5, lower limb numbness and weakness, walking unsteadily: simple lower limb symptoms, with the numbness and weakness of the whole leg as the main feature, no symptoms in the upper limb, may be thoracic spinal stenosis compression of the spinal cord, of course, a small number of patients are caused by cervical spinal stenosis, need detailed imaging, decide the treatment plan, a considerable number of patients may need surgery. 6, dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, chest tightness, tinnitus, blurred vision: these symptoms are varied, and can be accompanied by other rare symptoms, most patients believe that the cervical spine problems, from the cervical spine X-ray, CT or MRI can be found on the light or heavy osteophytes, spinal stenosis, disc protrusion and other manifestations, but whether such symptoms are related to the performance of the imaging is still controversial, the patient in addition to the Department of Spine Surgery, should also be in the relevant departments. In addition to spine surgery, patients should also be seen in related departments, such as neurology, vascular surgery, otolaryngology, and internal medicine, for a comprehensive judgment. It is important to note that since the mechanism causing the above symptoms is still unclear, a significant number of patients will likely still not be able to identify the cause of their condition after being seen by all departments. Many patients’ symptoms are abnormalities of some neurological functions, not organic changes, so it is also impossible to remove the cause of the disease, only symptomatic treatment.
