Patient's question:
A colleague said he had just picked up his father from his hometown yesterday. He said his father has been experiencing back pain recently, and sometimes when he takes a nap, he can hear the joints moving rapidly. He suspects he might have cervical spondylosis and wants to ask the doctor if this could be spinal cervical spondylosis?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the neck pain should be considered to be caused by a herniated cervical disc compressing the spinal nerves. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an MRI examination of the cervical disc to clarify whether there is compression or edema of the spinal nerves. If necessary, mannitol and dexamethasone may be required for dehydration treatment.
