How does thoracic vertebra have a problem to treat
summary
In recent years, the mother may not be in good health, walking is easy to fatigue, mother numbness, often bedridden. So I rushed my mother to the hospital for treatment. The doctor gave her CT, MRI and chest X-ray. The final diagnosis was thoracic spinal stenosis. The thoracic nerves have been severely compressed and need to be operated as soon as possible. Let's share our experience here.
How does thoracic vertebra have a problem to treat
First: the risk of surgery is very high, so we immediately transferred my mother to a highly authoritative specialist hospital for surgery, and the operation was very successful. After the operation, my mother was arranged to rest in the ward and was strictly required to lie in bed. Don't move the patient at will. Even if it's daily cleaning, we have to do it with the help of nurses. Also often massage and gently rotate the limbs for my mother.
Second: after about two months of bed rest, mother can get out of bed and walk. However, due to staying in bed for too long, my mother is still not very adapted and needs our support. In daily life, we still need to take care of her for a period of time. During this period, we often take our mother out for a walk and breathe more fresh air outside. Let mom get used to it as soon as possible.
Third: after the operation, the doctor did the lower limb function test for her mother to ensure that the lower limb function was not damaged during the operation. Also arranged a course of treatment of weakness, to help mother better recover lower limb function.
matters needing attention
After discharge, mother still needs a period of rest, try not to do housework. Don't mention heavy things, and avoid long-term bending work. Half a year later, my mother has to go back to check regularly. Basically, it doesn't matter. Soon, I won't have to go back to see her again.
