Is a herniated cervical spine serious? I have a C3-6 herniation, what are the possible abnormalities?

  I can responsibly say to you “cervical herniation is really serious!” We need to evaluate the disease from many aspects, so I will give you a careful analysis, and then you can consider whether it is serious or not.  1. Chance of illness?  Cervical spondylosis is a common disease in modern times, this is because the computer, cell phone function gradually comprehensive, work by computer, entertainment by cell phone, long-term this will bring damage to the cervical spine muscles, ligaments, joints, resulting in the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, and because of the ability of young people to accept new things faster, such diseases are low age trend, at present, China’s cervical spondylosis detection rate is as high as 64%, ten people have six cervical spondylosis patients At present, the detection rate of cervical spondylosis in China is as high as 64%, and six out of ten people have cervical spondylosis.  2.Can it be completely cured?  Cervical disc herniation is a degenerative lesion, from the physiological point of view, is irreversible, and the current trend of such diseases is obviously low age, because modern people’s life and work habits are unhealthy, accelerating the process, disc herniation is between bulging and prolapse, said lightly said heavy, need specific analysis, but the herniation of the nucleus pulposus really can not be reversed, that is to say, this disease is not a cure, dare Those who say so are liars.  3, whether it affects life?  I dare not say everyone, after all, individualization exists in the clinic, but the vast majority of patients have obvious symptoms, simple neck and shoulder pain even in the severe unbearable is actually a good thing, are not too serious, such patients are most afraid of other parts of the symptoms, such as dizziness and headache, chest tightness and chest pain, numbness, nausea and weakness, etc., just look at these symptoms, we should understand how much trouble, this This is not just affect life, some patients may not be able to take care of themselves.  4, the possible consequences?  The possible consequences are by no means one, but need to be analyzed specifically, which is greatly related to the patient’s symptoms, first of all, the related diseases that may be induced, such as heart disease, cerebral thrombosis, hypertension, etc. These diseases have the risk of death, and there are more subtypes of cervical spondylosis, and if the patient’s spinal cord is compressed may affect their own mobility, resulting in the consequences of lower limb mobility disorders and eventually paralysis events.  Let’s talk more about: what is a cervical disc herniation?  Cervical disc herniation is one of the more common clinical lesions, second only to lumbar disc herniation in terms of incidence.  It is mainly due to the degeneration of the nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus and cartilage plate of the cervical disc, especially the nucleus pulposus, which, under the action of external factors, leads to the rupture of the disc annulus fibrosus and the protrusion or release of the nucleus pulposus from the rupture, thus causing pressure on the adjacent tissues, such as the spinal nerve roots and spinal cord, and causing a series of specific symptoms.  What are the symptoms of a herniated cervical disc?  Due to the irritation or compression of the cervical spinal nerve root, a numbness in the cervical spinal nerve innervation area (i.e., the affected upper limb) may occur in mild cases, and in severe cases, a severe pain in the innervation area of the affected nerve segment, such as cutting or burning, accompanied by a pins-and-needles or over-electricity-like tingling sensation, and the pain may be aggravated by coughing.  Head: Dizziness, headache, deafness, tinnitus, loss of vision, slurred speech, memory loss.  Extremities: numbness and weakness of the extremities, limited movement function.  Chest: chest tightness, chest pain, panic, shortness of breath, and arrhythmia.  This patient’s report was C3-6 protrusion, and in the absence of other information, one can only speculate, knowing that the cervical sympathetic ganglion has a cardiac branch innervating the heart, and the cervical sympathetic nerve originates from the white communicating branch of the 1 and 2 thoracic sympathetic ganglia, and palpitations may occur in the event of instability, error, or protrusion of the superior cervical spine, and the most common symptom in C4-6 lesions is bradycardia.  A rock is hard, and a small drop of water aimed at it will drip out of the hole as time passes!  The vast majority of patients with cervical spine lesions are due to the accumulation of unhealthy posture, whether it is early prevention or late rehabilitation, should change this bad habit, if you usually find yourself sitting for a long time, or standing for a long time, to change the posture in time, let’s say the chair out, straighten your legs, stretch, stand for a long time, then find a place to sit and relax, only then Only this is the way to health.
