Last month, a case of dizziness was successfully reported, and the case information is as follows:
43-year-old Ms. Li visited the hospital because of "dizziness and headache, cervical stiffness, insomnia and nausea for a year", after the patient's detailed explanation, we learned that the patient's initial symptoms were very mild a year ago, just felt heavy in the head and sore neck, but because the symptoms were mild and did not seriously affect their work and life, they did not take it seriously, but at the beginning of this year, the symptoms suddenly became serious, not only the original symptoms became serious, but also dizziness, headache, nausea, insomnia, Prone to sweating and other problems, and does not always feel uncomfortable.
Ms. Li originally thought that it was the menopausal symptoms, after a week of **, the symptoms became more and more serious, seriously affecting Ms. Li's life, and finally came to our hospital**, although Ms. Li had done a variety of examinations in the local hospital before, and discharged a lot of related diseases, but due to the complexity of the diagnosis of this disease, we conducted a multidisciplinary consultation on it, and finally determined the culprit - cervical spondylosis. Ms. Li's symptoms have basically disappeared and she has been discharged from the hospital.
Why is the headache and dizziness, but in the end it is the pot of the cervical spine?
This must talk about cervical spondylosis, cervical spondylosis is actually a "family" disease, but this "family" does not mean genetics, but that there are many types of cervical spondylosis, which is enough to form a large family with the suffix cervical spondylosis.
Among the many cervical spondylosis, there is a cervical spondylosis that is most likely to be misdiagnosed, its name is "sympathetic cervical spondylosis", its formation is mainly during the degenerative disease of the cervical spine, due to chronic damage to soft tissues, inflammatory stimulation, lesions compressing sympathetic nerve fibers caused by a series of reflex autonomic dysfunction syndrome, which includes symptoms of multiple parts, such as head symptoms: dizziness, headache, heaviness, insomnia, deafness, tinnitus, vision loss, memory loss, etc.
The dizziness and headache caused by this cervical spondylosis must be distinguished from others, due to the different genres, so there is a world of difference in the way, if the direction is wrong, it is likely to delay the time window, so that the patient's problem is getting bigger and bigger, and the condition is becoming more and more serious.
This kind of patients with abnormalities caused by cervical spondylosis, in fact, as long as they pay more attention to the details in life, they can find the signs in advance, and the symptoms of such patients are mostly related to neck activities, such as standing and sitting are heavier, lying down will be reduced, and sudden changes in body position will also aggravate the symptoms.
There is more than one way to operate for cervical spondylosis!
Any surgery needs to be cautious, cervical spondylosis is no exception, as a kind of surgery, cervical spondylosis also has its own surgical indications, there are many in general, but if you summarize it, there are actually only two cores:
After an MRI is done and significant compression of the spinal cord or nerve root is confirmed, surgery should be considered.
After a period of conservative**, if the symptoms do not improve or even worsen, surgery should be considered.
Therefore, surgery is not necessary, before considering surgery, reasonable and formal conservatism is the key, after all, the occupation, age, body, condition, and tolerance value between patients and patients are all places that need to be considered.
For some patients with cervical spondylosis who have an early onset, if the nerve does not seriously compress the nerve root, at this time you can take drug analgesia, traction to assist through the acute phase, and then recover in the remission period through appropriate functional exercises, if the condition is not serious, it is found in a timely manner, while adhering to beneficial functional exercises, avoid bad long-term bowing Xi, it is likely that cervical spondylosis will no longer **, and naturally there will be no need for surgery.
