1. Whether there are signs of nerve and blood vessel compression. Neck and shoulder pain with radiating pain to the upper limbs, numbness and weakness of the upper limbs, numbness and weakness of the limbs, vertigo accompanied by numbness and weakness of the limbs, etc. should be considered as possible cervical spondylosis; 2. Whether the symptoms persist and do not subside. If the symptoms produced by the disease persist and do not change due to the environment, weather and emotions, cervical spondylosis is likely; conversely, mental illness is likely. Because no one can change away the disease that has been generated in a short time; 3. Mental illness: whether there is insomnia. Insomnia can cause stiffness and strong pain in the neck. This is similar to the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. Those who are emotionally sensitive and easily agitated have high nerve sensitivity, which can easily produce excitement and cause swelling and pain. Psychological problems should be addressed first, and then cervical spondylosis should be considered.  If you are really sure that you are suffering from cervical spondylosis, then you should find it early and treat it early so that your condition can recover soon.
