How to do if your leg suddenly can’t walk

In clinical practice, when a patient has a sudden inability to walk, the first step in treatment is to clarify the differential diagnosis, and then take symptomatic treatment according to the specific disease. For example, in spinal cord cervical spondylosis, due to the hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the cervical bones, the spinal cord is stimulated and compressed, resulting in the patient’s inability to walk with nerve compression symptoms. Treatment can be ordered to bed rest, cervical brace to fix the neck, and can be combined with jaw belt traction. In addition, the patient should take oral anti-osteophytic drugs and apply neurotrophic drugs, such as mecobalamin and methylcobalamin tablets, for treatment. If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment can be considered and anterior or posterior cervical spine surgery can be performed.
