In front of many doctors, sometimes there are two diseases, one cervical spondylosis, one lumbar disc herniation...
Like what dizziness, hand numbness is caused by cervical spine problems.
Like foot numbness, leg weakness is often caused by a protruding disc in the waist.
Don't say, a shot of MRI, a shot of CT is indeed a problem!
For this problem, in the vast majority of cases, it is not rigorous to divide into two diseases!
At this time, someone said, "This is what is written on this NMR report~"
In this era, how many people have no problems with the lumbar and cervical vertebrae?
If a doctor relies entirely on these test reports to see a doctor, what else should a clinician do?
Therefore, some necessary physical examinations are still necessary.
Since you choose a career in medicine, continuous learning will accompany you for a lifetime...
Professional things to find professional people!
When a doctor can only roughly divide the disease, it may really be that the doctor has encountered fewer problems, or even has not seen it at all...
If, the track and field athletes run wildly before the finish line is determined, the result can be imagined~
Two days ago, a patient was introduced by a friend to my side for treatment.
The patient, female, 65 years old, numbness of left hand for more than 1 year, diagnosed by the hospital, cervical spondylosis, treatment for many months ineffective to come to this treatment.
On physical examination, numbness in the patient's left hand, but numbness is distributed in three and a half fingers of the left hand. Pressing on the midpoint of the palmar striae of the wrist is applied and the numbness is increased. Patients report that cycling is aggravated and relieved by shaking hands.
Based on the patient's description, noncervical spondylosis should be considered as carpal tunnel syndrome. Give occlusion treatment!
There are still quite a few such patients in the outpatient clinic, and they have been treated as cervical spondylosis for many years, with little effect.
Occasionally, studying in orthopedics, there are many such patients, and it is correct to find a key position for processing by physical examination, entrapment of the median nerve of the wrist, and find a key position!
Later, in the outpatient clinic, when encountering such patients, the same closed treatment or small needle knife release, often 1-2 times can solve the problem!
In combination with acupuncture and physiotherapy to eliminate local edema, the effect will be better!
Therefore, treating the disease, curing the disease, and finding the cause is the key!
What is carpal tunnel syndrome
When it comes to carpal tunnel syndrome, probably like tenosynovitis, it is a "carpal tunnel" strain composed of wrist bones and tendons, which causes local edema, entrapment of the median nerve, and produces a series of symptoms.
Well, so much for this issue, friends who feel reasonable can forward it to those in need around them, I am Doctor Wang of Wild Chinese Medicine, follow me, eat Ma Ma Xiang, the body is great!
