Cervical spondylosis causes arm pain

People who sit still for long periods of time are prone to cervical problems, especially those who used to work in finance. Working with their heads down for long periods of time can lead to cervical spondylosis. It is well known that cervical spondylosis can cause many complications. It is quite common for the cervical spine to cause arm pain. In addition to arm pain, the eyes will also be affected, and even vision loss may occur.

If there is a problem with the first cervical vertebra, the above symptoms will be relatively obvious. In mild cases in the early stages, you will feel sleepy and confused. In severe cases, you will have a long-term headache and dizziness. In severe cases, you may not be able to live independently.

Problems with the second cervical vertebra are mainly reflected in the facial features. If you feel discomfort in your cervical spine and are accompanied by problems with your eyes and ears, it means that there is something wrong with your second cervical vertebra.

Section 2: In mild cases, there will be dry eyes and sore eyes, in severe cases, there will be blurred vision, and in even more serious cases, there will be a risk of vision loss and blindness. The same is true for the ears. In mild cases, there will be tinnitus. In severe cases, the two tendons behind the ear will experience intense and continuous pain. The head cannot move normally, even turning left or right is not possible. The head feels like a stone, and it is extremely painful, making it basically impossible to live a normal life.

There are not many symptoms of the third cervical vertebra, and the situation is not obvious, but it is indeed a symptom that almost everyone has. The basic condition of the third cervical vertebra is swallowing disorder. Simply put, it is not very smooth when swallowing, and there is a little sense of obstruction. For example, you must use water to take pills. This is the case in mild cases, but in severe cases it can compress the nerves and cause headaches, brain problems, etc.

Many people may not think that the problems caused by the fourth cervical vertebra are caused by cervical spondylosis, let alone take them seriously, such as vomiting and otitis media. But one thing to note is that if there is a problem with the fourth quarter, nausea and vomiting will easily occur, and appetite will be affected. In severe cases, the patient may be unable to eat and may suffer from deafness, which will have a huge impact on the patient's body.

There is a problem with the fifth cervical vertebra, which is close to the back and the upper limbs, and the pain symptoms are more serious.

In severe cases, the arms may become weak, painful, or numb, which can have a huge impact on normal life.

The sixth section of the cervical spine is the most prone to problems and also the section with the most common symptoms. Mild symptoms include stiffness, while severe symptoms include numbness of the upper limbs and shoulder and neck pain. Because the cervical vertebrae serve as a bridge between the torso and the brain, the sixth cervical vertebra is prone to cause heart discomfort, which can manifest externally as a poor heart or even bradycardia.

The seventh cervical vertebra is the last one and its main symptoms are discomfort in the back, shoulders and neck. If your cervical spondylosis is accompanied by heart problems, there must be something wrong with the sixth or seventh cervical vertebrae. Severe problems with the sixth or seventh cervical vertebrae will cause unbearable pain and inability to rest at night, seriously affecting your normal life.

This can prevent cervical spondylosis

Keep warm

Avoid catching cold. Be sure to wear a scarf when going out, and apply hot compress to your neck at night to relieve local muscle tension.

Exercise

For example, doing the "M" exercise in the office or at home can speed up the circulation of qi and blood in the neck, relax the muscles and promote blood circulation, and relieve neck fatigue.

Correct your posture

Get rid of all bad postures and habits, such as reading in a semi-recumbent position, sleeping in a prone position, and excessive forward flexion of the head and neck. If you have to work at a desk for a long time, it is best to standardize your posture and combine work and rest.

Reasonable use of pillow

Inappropriate pillow height and placement can easily cause neck and shoulder fatigue and cervical degeneration. The pillow height that makes the neck feel comfortable is generally 6-8 cm after compression. Place the pillow at the junction of the neck and shoulders when sleeping.
