A 45-year-old male, who came to our hospital, complained of radiating pain in the left upper limb with no obvious cause and continued to worsen. After perfect examination, the diagnosis of cervical disc herniation was clarified, and the patient was instructed to wear a neck brace, given head and neck traction, and treated with medication, and his symptoms improved significantly and his condition was stable. Basic information】Male, 45 years old 【Disease type】Disc herniation (cervical disc herniation) 【Visiting hospital】The First Hospital of China Medical University 【Visiting time】July 2020 【Treatment plan】Medication (ibuprofen extended-release capsules, diclofenac sodium extended-release tablets, methylcobalamin tablets, vitamin B12 tablets) 【Treatment cycle】Inpatient treatment for 1 week 【Treatment effect】Symptoms improved significantly, and the condition was stable. The pain was radiating, affecting the left upper arm and forearm, but not the hand. The pain was relieved when resting in bed, and was slightly relieved by self-medication (specific details unknown). The pain was slightly relieved by self-treatment with medication (specific details). Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine showed disc herniation at C5/6 and C6/7 and spinal stenosis at C6/7 level. A preliminary diagnosis of cervical disc herniation was made and the patient was admitted to the hospital. The patient had a normal diet since the onset of the disease and was not incontinent. In order to further clarify the severity of the disease, the patient was admitted to the hospital with a perfect CT scan of the disc, which showed that the C4/5, C5/6 and C6/7 discs protruded posteriorly by about 0.2 cm, 0.2 cm and 0.3 cm, and the dural sac was compressed, and the sagittal diameter of the corresponding spinal canal was about 0.9 cm, 0.9 cm and 0.7 cm. no abnormality was seen in the rest of the spinal canal. After communication with the patient, conservative treatment was started. The patient was instructed to wear a cervical brace and given head and neck traction to reduce the load on the cervical discs and neck muscles, thereby relieving the spinal cord compression, and attention was paid to reducing the time spent standing and sitting during this period. The patient was instructed to take ibuprofen extended-release capsules and diclofenac sodium extended-release tablets to control the development of inflammation and relieve the symptoms of pain in the left upper limb. Methylcobalamin tablets and vitamin B12 tablets were used to repair the damaged nerves. After one week of treatment, the patient was discharged with significant improvement in symptoms and relief of radiating pain in the left upper limb. III. Treatment effect After treatment, the patient’s symptoms improved and her condition was stable. For the symptoms of radiating pain in the left upper limb, the patient was given ibuprofen extended-release capsules and diclofenac sodium extended-release tablets for 1 week and then the pain symptoms were completely relieved. After 1 week of cervical brace braking, head and neck traction, methylcobalamin tablets and vitamin B12 tablets, the patient’s spinal cord compression symptoms were significantly relieved, and a left brachial plexus pull test was performed with negative results. The patient recovered well and was instructed to stop the medication. If the pain of the left upper limb increases again after the patient finished the treatment, he should seek medical attention in time. After treatment, the patient’s condition improved and he could work and live normally. On the occasion of discharge, I did not forget to advise the patient to pay attention to the following points in daily life: 1. After the patient was discharged from the hospital, he should exercise appropriately, but the intensity should not be too great. In addition, in daily life, avoid long-term head bowing, ambulatory work, sleeping on pillows, etc. to avoid damage to the neck; 2. Patients should pay attention to nutrition, and it is recommended to choose vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, and foods rich in calcium and protein, such as milk, fish, eggs, etc.; 3. Patients should follow the doctor’s instructions for regular review, and if the pain in the left upper limb reappears or continues to worsen, they should promptly If the pain in the left upper limb reappears or continues to worsen, come to the hospital for medical treatment. V. Personal insight Cervical disc herniation often starts acutely, progresses sustainably, mainly manifests as radioactive pain in the neck and upper limbs, and with the further aggravation of cervical disc disease, it can lead to compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots, resulting in unstable walking, clumsy activities, weakened muscle strength, breathing difficulties and other serious adverse symptoms. As in this case, the patient was seen at an early stage of the disease and underwent standardized treatment, during which no serious adverse symptoms occurred and she recovered well.
