Patient's question:
My father has been suffering from traumatic injuries for over twenty years. Now he walks slowly and has difficulty defecating, besides leg pain, back pain, and numbness in all four limbs! How should it be treated? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Spondylotic cervical myelopathy can easily lead to symptoms such as limb numbness by controlling the spinal cord. Spondylotic cervical myelopathy is generally quite severe, and conservative treatment is often ineffective. It is recommended to actively pursue surgical treatment to stop the control, which still yields good results. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
