Numbness is a possible complication, but it's not common.
Yes, numbness can be a symptom of spinal stenosis affecting the arms and legs. Spinal stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. This can lead to symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the arms and legs.
Cervical spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck region, which can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This can lead to symptoms such as neck pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the arms or hands. Severe cases may require surgical intervention to relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
Symptoms of lumbar spinal Stenosis include numbness, weakness, cramping, or pain in the legs, feet, or buttock; stiffness in legs and thighs; low back pain. In severe cases, loss of bladder and bowel control. Answer Pain, numbness, weakness or tingling in the arms/hands and the legs may indicate cervical spinal stenosis. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis experience the same symptoms but limited to the lower back, legs, and feet.
Cervical 5 and 6 control the function of the muscles and sensations of the upper extremities, particularly the shoulders, arms, and hands. Damage or issues with these spinal levels can lead to weakness, numbness, or pain in these areas.
it's because of lyme disease
The nerves in the cervical spine primarily affect the arms, hands, neck, and upper back. Nerve compression or injury in this region can lead to pain, numbness, weakness, or tingling in these areas.
Yes, numbness in the fingers can occur due to bone spurs at the C3-C4 vertebrae if they cause effacement (compression) of the thecal sac, which surrounds the spinal cord and nerves. This compression can impinge on cervical nerve roots that innervate the arms and hands, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness in the fingers. However, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
cervical disc hernia. first it compressed the dura mater, than the nerve root
GO TO A HOSPITAL. Numbness can be a sign of Nerological damage, you should probably get checked out by a doctor. Then get a lawyer. Typical American answer there. How do you know it was not a single vehicle accident?
Spinal stenosis is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal, leading to compression of the spinal cord and nerves. Common symptoms include pain, numbness, weakness, or tingling in the back, neck, arms, or legs. Patients may also experience difficulty walking, balance issues, or bladder or bowel dysfunction. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans to visualize the extent of the spinal canal narrowing.
It could be poor circulation, or even early signs of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Moderate spinal stenosis means that the narrowing of the spinal canal is narrowed to the degree that symptoms are always present. At the moderate stage symptoms include stiffness or numbness in the back or neck, persistent radiating pain, and some loss of flexibility.
