When cervical spondylosis is serious, it will also involve the heavy feeling of shoulders. Once suffering from cervical spondylosis, not only will the limbs feel numb, but patients will also feel nausea and vomiting. Have similar symptoms, is it caused by cervical spondylosis?

Third, lumbar spondylosis, common is lumbar disc herniation and spinal stenosis.
1, Lumbar disc herniation: Lumbar disc herniation is a common disease. Patients usually have symptoms of numbness in the lower limbs. Due to the aging of the lumbar spine, the degenerated lumbar intervertebral disc has fibrosis, decreased elasticity, thinning, brittleness, dehydration of nucleus pulposus and decreased tension. On this basis, in case of certain external force or sudden increase of intervertebral disc pressure, the annulus fibrosus can be ruptured and the nucleus pulposus will protrude. It leads to numbness in legs and feet and makes patients miserable.
2. Spinal canal stenosis: Vertebral body will age with the aging of bones, forming cartilage hyperplasia and compressing nerves, leading to strong discomfort in nerve control parts and numbness of limbs.
