Suddenly I had severe pain in my cervical spine

Cervical spondylosis is usually caused by long-term accumulation of neck strain, but acute cervical spondylosis also occurs. There may be no adverse symptoms in your cervical spine before, but suddenly you feel severe pain. Once this symptom appears, you must not take it lightly. Cervical spondylosis not only affects the neck and shoulders of the human body, causing neck soreness, but also has a very big impact on the heart and limbs.

How deadly is cervical spondylosis? Very dangerous

What’s even more frightening is that medicine has discovered that cervical spondylosis can cause at least 70 diseases throughout the body. The following are some common diseases.

Dysphagia: There is a feeling of obstruction when swallowing and a foreign body sensation in the esophagus. A few people experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, hoarseness, dry cough, and chest tightness.

Visual impairment: decreased vision, eye pain, photophobia, tearing, etc., and may even lead to blindness.

Abdominal distension and constipation: Some patients with cervical spondylosis suffer from stimulation and damage to the adjacent cervical sympathetic nerves, which slows down the gastrointestinal motility of the internal organs innervated by them.

Hypertension: A significant increase in blood pressure is called "cervical hypertension". Since cervical spondylosis and hypertension are both common diseases among the elderly, the two often coexist.

Chest pain: Unilateral pain in the pectoralis major and breast, and tenderness in the pectoralis major during examination are related to compression of the C6 and C7 nerve roots by cervical bone spurs.

Cataplexy: When standing or walking, a person may collapse suddenly due to a sudden turn of the head causing the body to lose support, and the person may wake up quickly after falling to the ground.

Paralysis of the lower limbs: Early symptoms include numbness, pain, and lameness of the lower limbs. Some patients also have bowel and urination disorders, such as frequent urination, urgency, or incontinence.

Alzheimer's disease: Once the cervical disc herniation causes the transverse foramen to become thinner and deformed, the supplied brain area will suffer from insufficient blood supply. Chronic cerebral ischemia causes a decline in cognitive functions such as forgetfulness, which will eventually lead to dementia in the long run.

This cervical spondylosis may seem insignificant, but it poses a great threat to our life and health!

I would like to advise friends with cervical problems to be careful and not to delay their actions. I would like to remind you here, and I hope you will remind the people around you after reading this: You must pay attention to your cervical spine health, so that you don’t get killed by cervical spondylosis one day!

Many people think that cervical spondylosis is not a serious disease and can be cured by resting. However, if it is delayed, the treatment will become more and more difficult, and some people may even need surgery.

Here are some easy-to-learn methods to protect your cervical spine, and even cure cervical spondylosis. Everyone must remember them!

Roll a little, roll out a good spine

Standing crookedly or sitting incorrectly, habitually crossing your legs, playing with mobile phones for a long time or sitting in front of a computer can cause our spine to become crooked. Once the spine is bent and crooked, many problems will follow.

Middle-aged and elderly friends can often do back rolling exercises to correct the spine. Even some people with bone spurs can be cured! Do it diligently 108 times a day (one back and forth counts), bone spurs do not need surgery, no need to do it fast or slowly, correct the spine yourself!

Roll back method:

1. Sit on the ground with your legs together and knees bent. Hug your calves with both hands, breathe naturally but not too quickly, tighten your abdomen and arch your back, and move your body backward from the coccyx and lumbar vertebrae to the ground one by one. At the beginning, you don't need to cross your feet over your head. Do it a few times and then look at your physical condition. Then roll to the thoracic vertebrae and cervical vertebrae, with your toes facing up. Gradually, cross your feet over your head, straighten your feet and touch the ground with your toes.

2. Lie on the ground, bend your knees, hug your calves with both hands, raise your head, tighten your abdomen, and arch your back. Move your body backwards, starting from the coccyx, lumbar vertebrae, and thoracic vertebrae, and touch the ground one by one. Roll back and forth in this way.
