What are the symptoms of cervical spinal stenosis

summary

There was a period of time ago when I was not able to move, especially the pain in my legs and feet was particularly severe. In addition, I felt that my hands were numb and I couldn't carry heavy objects. When I went to the hospital for an examination, I found that I had cervical stenosis. The problem is still quite serious. Now let me talk about the symptoms of cervical stenosis.

What are the symptoms of cervical spinal stenosis

First: sensory disturbance: cervical spinal stenosis is mainly manifested as numbness, allergy or pain. Most patients with cervical spinal stenosis have the above symptoms, which are the initial symptoms. The limbs may be affected at the same time, or symptoms may appear first in one side of the limbs, but most patients begin to have sensory disorders in the upper limbs, especially in the arm. Trunk symptoms include sensory disturbance of the second rib or below the fourth rib, tightness of the chest, abdomen or pelvis, which is called "band feeling". In severe cases, dyspnea may occur.

Second: movement disorder: this kind of disorder appears after the sensory disorder. The symptoms were weakness, rigidity and inflexibility. Most of them start from the weakness and heaviness of lower limbs, and the feeling of foot landing like stepping on cotton. In severe cases, they are unstable in standing and walking, easy to kneel, and need to support the wall or walk with double crutches. With the gradual aggravation of symptoms of cervical spinal stenosis, they appear quadriplegia.

Third: urination and defecation disorders: generally appear later. Early cervical spinal canal stenosis is characterized by * stool and weakness, frequent urination, urgency and constipation, and urinary retention and fecal incontinence. For patients, incontinence will affect their life and work more.

matters needing attention

If the patient has cervical spinal stenosis, the symptoms are more serious, and it also affects the life and work of the patient. Of course, the patient can go to the hospital in time for treatment. If the disease can be found earlier, the patient can make himself recover in time.
