Patient's question:
Spondylotic cervical myelopathy is the most severe type of cervical spondylosis. This condition cannot be relieved through conservative treatment, and in severe cases, it is not just limited to pain and difficulty in moving the neck. It may even lead to abnormal bowel and bladder function, breathing difficulties, and even respiratory failure, posing a threat to life. It is recommended that you be hospitalized for treatment, and if necessary, surgery should be performed immediately.Doctor's answer:
The spinal type of cervical spondylosis is relatively severe and can cause numbness in the limbs, a sensation of walking on cotton, dizziness, chest tightness, nausea, and affect normal life and examinations. This condition requires imaging tests to determine if surgical intervention is necessary. Additionally, attention should be paid to cervical care, such as using a neck brace and avoiding bending the head excessively. Cervical rehabilitation exercises can also be performed.
