Complications of knee osteoarthritis

summary

My mother's right leg knee joint has been diagnosed with degenerative osteoarthritis for many years. In recent years, I have injected sodium hyaluronate into her every year. Now her condition has been controlled to a certain extent. For the complications of knee osteoarthritis, let me tell you.

Complications of knee osteoarthritis

First, dysphagia. When swallowing, there is a sense of obstruction, foreign body sensation in the esophagus, and a few people have vomiting, vomiting, hoarseness, dry cough, chest tightness and other symptoms. This is because the anterior edge of the cervical vertebra directly presses the posterior wall of the esophagus, resulting in esophageal stricture. It may also be caused by the reaction of the soft tissue near the esophagus caused by the excessive speed of bone spur formation.

Second: visual impairment. It is manifested as decreased vision, eye pain, fear of light, tears, pupil size, and even reduced vision and vision, individual patients can also produce blindness. This is related to the autonomic nervous disorder caused by cervical osteoarthritis and the ischemic lesion of visual center in occipital lobe of cerebral nerve caused by vertebrobasilar insufficiency.

Third: cervical heart syndrome. It is easy to be misdiagnosed as coronary heart disease because of precordial pain, chest tightness, arrhythmia (such as middle beat, etc.) and ST segment changes. This is caused by the influence and pressure of cervical spine spur on the dorsal cervical nerve root.
