Patient's question:
Symptom Description: After giving birth, sitting up causes stiff neck and inability to look up or down, accompanied by headaches.Past Treatment and Effect: Massage, which was not effective.
Help Needed: What is the cause, and how should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many reasons for this condition. It could be due to pre-existing functional impairment of the nervous system, where hormonal imbalances after childbirth lead to further nerve damage. Alternatively, it might be caused by postpartum infection affecting the spinal cord, resulting in mild spinal inflammation.From a symptom perspective, the condition is quite serious. I recommend you undergo an MRI scan of the brain and cervical spinal cord to rule out any organic pathological changes before proceeding with treatment. If you need guidance, please provide the MRI results.
Note: Neurological diseases should not be delayed, as treating severe nerve damage later is like mending the fence after the sheep has been stolen. I suggest you focus on strengthening your body and seek examination and treatment at a formal hospital for symptomatic management.
