summary

Before, I often felt uncomfortable with cervical vertebra, and also often had dizziness. Later, I was diagnosed with cervical spondylosis after going to the hospital for examination. In fact, if I understand the disease, it is very easy to find the disease. Let's take a look at the symptoms of cervical spondylosis.

What are the symptoms of cervical spondylosis

Symptom 1: limited activity: the range of motion of the cervical spine is significantly reduced compared with normal or before, and the muscles of the neck and shoulder back are stiff, stiff, and have a sense of acid swelling. They can't bend forward and backward, and it's difficult to turn the neck. Sometimes when they turn the neck with a little force, they will have severe pain and radiate to the upper limbs. Many patients will have obvious dizziness, and in serious cases, they may suddenly faint.

Symptom 2: dizziness: dizziness, the patient has the illusion that he or she or the surrounding scenery rotates in one direction, the body is unstable, and he or she feels the object incline and sink. It is often induced by changing body position, excessive head flexion, extension or rotation. The onset time can be very short and can last for several hours or longer. Vertigo attack can be accompanied by tinnitus, nausea and vomiting, cold sweat, palpitation, palpitation, cold limbs and other symptoms. Some patients showed a sense of lethargy in the head, conscious of heavy head, drowsy, unable to play spirit.

Symptom 3: sore throat: it is mainly seen in patients with cervical spondylosis of pharyngeal type (esophageal type). It is caused by the stimulation or compression of the posterior pharyngeal wall or esophagus by the bone hyperplasia at the anterior edge of cervical vertebra or the forward protrusion of intervertebral disc. The main manifestations are dry throat, sore throat, obvious foreign body, dysphagia, hoarseness and other pharyngeal and esophageal symptoms. It is easy to be misdiagnosed as chronic pharyngitis, esophageal cancer or nerve function The misdiagnosis rate can be as high as 80 ~ 90% before diagnosis. In the early stage or attack stage of cervical spondylosis, almost all patients have symptoms of sore throat, especially in young and middle-aged patients. Of course, it should be differentiated from the sore throat caused by many other diseases, such as cold, chronic pharyngitis, suppurative tonsillitis, and sore throat caused by rheumatism.
