The cervical spine is occupied by the nerve centers to and from the brain, from which sensations from all parts of the body are transmitted up to the general headquarters, the brain. Due to the cervical spondylosis-related symptoms, most of the onset of the disease is mild and not taken seriously, most of them can recover on their own, sometimes mild and sometimes severe, only when the symptoms continue to worsen and can not be reversed, affecting work and life before attention is paid to it. Some patients are misdiagnosed as eye diseases, esophageal cancer, cardiovascular disease, hysteria, etc., and the cause of the disease cannot be found after repeated diagnosis. If the disease is not cured for a long time, it will cause psychological harm and produce insomnia, irritability, anger, anxiety, depression and other symptoms. Open the cervical spondylosis “illusion” fog Remember: cervical spondylosis is not just a neck and back pain Artifact one: swallowing difficulties Some elderly people began to feel itchy in the throat, there is a foreign body sensation, and then feel swallowing difficulties, intermittent episodes, when the light and heavy. The patient had been suspected of esophageal cancer, but gastroscopy is normal. Later, CT scan showed cervical spondylosis. False impression 2: Hypertension Cervical spondylosis can cause blood pressure to increase or decrease, but the former is more common, called cervical hypertension. This is related to bone stimulation of the sympathetic nerves. Patients are often accompanied by neck pain, tightness, numbness of the upper limbs and other typical manifestations. Breast Pain Breast pain is caused by the compression of the nerve roots of the 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae by the hyperplastic bone. The pain starts from one side of the breast or pectoralis major muscle, intermittent pain or paroxysmal stabbing pain, which is most obvious when turning the head to one side, and sometimes the pain is intolerable. This pain is misdiagnosed as angina or pleurisy. False impression 4: paralysis of the lower limbs or defecation disorders The paralysis of the lower limbs or defecation disorders are caused by the stimulation of the vertebral side bundles of the spinal cord. Patients with upper limb numbness, pain and weakness, claudication, most of the neck symptoms are mild and easy to be hidden. Some are accompanied by frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary incontinence or incontinence. False impression five: visual impairment cervical spondylosis can also be manifested as decreased visual acuity, intermittent blurred vision, one eye or both eyes distended, photophobia, tearing, narrowing of the field of vision, and so on. This visual impairment is related to the vegetative nerve dysfunction caused by cervical spondylosis.
