颈椎病（颈痛/头痛/四肢麻木）

 

 

2008年5月20日

 

我是一个68岁的老人。三年前，我开始出现颈部疼痛和僵硬，近一个月颈部活动范围有限，颈部疼痛逐渐恶化。从颈部疼痛放射到左肩，背部和左手臂。有时候，我觉得我的左手和手指均变得麻木，时有头痛，头晕，耳鸣，视力模糊。自从一个星期前突然我的左手握拳无力。左手拇指和食指不能形成一个拳头，同时，我的左胳膊和手指麻木，变得更糟。

 

我做了MRI检查：报告显示，颈椎退行性改变，椎间盘突出C3和C4之间的转移到了左侧。医生建议我必须手术治疗，但我很害怕，非常担心，因为5年前，曾做过椎间盘突出手术，但术后我的腰部疼痛加剧，我必须再做第二次手术。直至现在，我仍然有腰背酸痛。

 

我的朋友介绍来看陈德成医生。他给了我针灸治疗，然后他让我用NeckEase（你在家里使用的一种颈椎牵引器，每天两次，每次30分钟）治疗1个月后，我的颈部疼痛几乎完全消失。最重要的是，我的左手是能够正常握拳。左手拇指和食指无麻木，活动自如。同时头痛，头晕，耳鸣，视力模糊等也明显好转。

 

谢谢。

Neck pain/Headache/Numbness

 

 

May 20, 2008

 

I am a man of 68 years old. I have developed neck pain and stiffness three years ago. I felt my range of motion in my neck has been limited since a month ago. Recently, my neck pain is getting gradually worse. The pain from the neck radiated to left shoulder, back and arm. And sometimes I feel my left fingers becoming numb, also sometimes I have headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, and blurry vision. Ever since one week ago suddenly my left hand was not able to make a fist. My left thumb and index fingers could not form a fist, at the same time my left arm and finger numbness got worse.

 

I underwent an MRI examination: the report showed that my neck's cervical spine has been degenerative changed, disc herniation between C3 and C4 shifted to the left. The doctor suggested that I must have a surgery but I am very afraid and worry a lot because I had lower back disc herniation surgery 5 years ago, but my lower back pain was worse after surgery and I had to have a second surgery. Up till now I still have lower back pain.

 

I was referred by my friend to see Dr. Decheng Chen. He gave me a few acupuncture treatments at his office and then he let me use NeckEase (a kind of product which you use at home twice a day, 30 minutes each time for one month). After the treatments my neck pain almost disappeared. Most importantly is that my left hand was able to form a fist again normally. My left thumb and index finger was able to form a fist just like the right side. At the same time my headache, dizziness, tinnitus and blurry vision also got much better.

 

Thank you.
