What causes back pain? Be careful of this disease

Many people often feel severe back pain in normal times, especially the symptoms of spinal pain are more obvious. At this time, everyone should be especially careful, as it is an early symptom of cervical spondylosis. Patients will mainly show dizziness and difficulty swallowing, soreness and weakness in the muscles of the limbs, and no strength to move the body. Another common symptom is that they will feel the pain in the back, which is more obvious and very serious.

dizziness

Vertigo (neurology) is a common symptom of patients with cervical spondylosis. Most patients experience dizziness (neurology) when they suddenly turn their heads. In severe cases, they may also experience cataplexy. This is because the vertebral arteries of patients with cervical spondylosis are compressed by the proliferative changes of the cervical spine. When there is a transient cerebral ischemia, this symptom is prone to occur. Under the influence of this factor, patients with cervical spondylosis may also experience symptoms of autonomic nervous system dysfunction (neurology) such as nausea, vomiting, headache (neurology), sweating, etc.

Unstable blood pressure

The symptoms of cervical spondylosis are unstable blood pressure. After the onset of cervical spondylosis, the patient's sympathetic nerve function will be disordered, and the vertebral basilar artery blood supply will be abnormal, which can easily lead to symptoms of unstable blood pressure. For example, some patients with cervical spondylosis often experience symptoms of increased and decreased blood pressure.

Swallowing disorders

Patients with cervical spondylosis will also experience swallowing difficulties in the early stages. The main symptoms are a feeling of obstruction in the throat when swallowing, or a feeling of foreign matter in the esophagus. This is because the posterior wall of the esophagus of patients with cervical spondylosis is directly compressed by the bones at the front edge of the cervical vertebrae and the autonomic nervous system is disordered, causing esophageal spasm or excessive relaxation, resulting in symptoms of dysphagia.

Weak upper limb muscle strength

Weakened limb muscle strength is a symptom of cervical spondylosis, which is a symptom caused by damage to the motor nerves. It manifests as difficulty for patients with cervical spondylosis in holding objects, and some patients with cervical spondylosis easily drop objects. The skeletal muscles of the limbs are innervated by more than two nerves. Damage to a single nerve will result in mild muscle weakness, while involvement of the main nerve roots may cause obvious motor dysfunction.
