Patient's question:
The onset of the illness began 15 days after the cesarean section. The main symptoms include numbness, aching, and a lack of sensation as well as weakness in both hands of the upper limbs.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be caused by cervical spondylosis compressing the nerves. Cervical spondylosis is a clinical syndrome characterized by degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs of the cervical spine, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the cervical vertebrae, as well as cervical spine injuries, leading to bone spurs in the cervical vertebrae, disc herniation, or thickening of the ligaments. This can stimulate or compress the cervical spinal cord, cervical nerves, or blood vessels, resulting in a series of symptoms. It is recommended to first take some imaging tests to check the cervical spine, and traction therapy may be necessary if needed.
