Recommend Treatment For Cervical Spondylitis
Hi Doctor, i was detected with cervical spondilitis 2 years before. They told me that my 5th cerical vertebra is slightly dislocated. i was asked to do some neck exercise and did some physiotherapy too.this dislocation was due to the heavy usage of computers.Now slowly i developed a panic attack while driving car. i felt that the car was sliding from my left side and this feeling started aggrevating and finally i had to stop driving. i went to several doctors and they all said that , i am perfectly allright.now after 3 years , i was seriously thinking, how this problem of panic started. this fear has now gone to a secondary stage where i can t walk alone on the road.i feel that i may fall on the road and i want a support always.Dr. This condition has got any connection with spondilitis.....kindly advise.I am 43 year old lady.

Hello,
You might be suffering from cervical spondylosis. This in plain words is ageing of bones present in the cervical spine (neck). This when it touches a nerve you get symptoms of pinched nerve. The feeling of weakness in your arm maybe due to the pinched nerve and spondylosis. I would suggest you to visit a orthopedic doctor and get you MRI scan done to know the status of your spine and nerve roots. Based on your clinical examination and MRI scan, your doctor will suggest you the appropriate management strategy like physiotherapy.
Wish you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Santosh S. Jeevannavar, Orthopedic Surgeon
