Are you holding your shoulders and screaming “my neck and shoulders hurt”, are you often troubled by headaches and dizziness, have you been warned by your doctor that “if you don’t pay attention, your cervical spine will be finished”. First of all, you have to determine whether you really have cervical spondylosis. The following symptoms can be clearly identified as cervical spondylosis, and anyone who has one of the following is suffering from cervical spondylosis. 1.Pain in the back of the neck can be alleviated by pulling the head and neck upward by hand, but aggravated by putting pressure downward (mostly cervical cervical spondylosis). 2.The pain in the neck is accompanied by radioactive pain or numbness in the upper limbs (including the hands) (mostly cervical spondylosis of the nerve root type). 3.When the eyes are closed, the head and neck are rotated to the left and right, triggering migraine or vertigo (mostly vertebral artery cervical spondylosis). 4.When neck pain is accompanied by upper limb or lower limb weakness and limb pain (mostly spinal cord cervical spondylosis or combined cervical spinal stenosis). 5.When lowering the head, the whole body suddenly becomes numb or has an “electric shock”-like sensation (mostly spinal cord cervical spondylosis, especially in combination with severe cervical spinal stenosis). If you have one or two of the following symptoms, you are only “probably” suffering from cervical spondylosis, and further examination is needed for a clear diagnosis. 1.Simple neck discomfort, with a feeling of discomfort in any position of the neck (probably cervical). 2.Unexplained numbness in the upper extremities, especially if the fingertips are obvious (probably spinal nerve root type). 3.Persons with radiating pain in the fingers (probably spinal nerve type) 4.There is a feeling of banding on the body, i.e., as if the body is entangled with a cloth belt (probably spinal cord type). 5.Suddenly kneeling down when walking, or a feeling of “drifting” in the legs when walking (may be spinal cord type). 6.Sudden drop of the object in the hand (may be spinal cord type). 7. “Heart disease” with a normal electrocardiogram, or “stomach disease” with no abnormalities in internal medicine examination (possibly vertebral artery type). 8.Difficulty in swallowing with neck pain (probably dysphagia). Imaging examination is important for the diagnosis of cervical spondylosis. 1.CT of cervical spine. 2.Cervical magnetic resonance (MR).
