What is the relationship between frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis

Because cervical spondylosis is prone to cause neck, shoulder and back pain, especially when the shoulder joint is subjected to forceful activities, the pain symptoms are particularly obvious, so patients dare not do excessive shoulder joint activities, which can easily cause adhesion and contracture of the ligament capsule around the shoulder joint after a long time, and easily cause frozen shoulder in the later stage. Clinically, frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis are two different diseases, so frozen shoulder has nothing to do with cervical spondylosis, but both diseases can cause shoulder pain symptoms, which are sometimes difficult to distinguish. Some patients with cervical spondylosis have shoulder pain, while some patients with frozen shoulder have neck discomfort due to persistent symptoms.

What are the drugs for treating cervical spondylosis?

The cervical vertebrae are located at the top of the spine and play a supporting and protective role. There are spinal nerves in the spinal canal, and the nerve roots are emitted through the intervertebral foramen to control the neck and upper limbs. The posterior part of the vertebral body is rich in muscle tissue. This disease can cause neck and shoulder pain and stiffness. For the treatment of this disease, some drugs are mainly anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, diclofenac sodium, and loxoprofen sodium. Some drugs that relieve muscle spasms, such as eperisone hydrochloride, can also be used. There are many drugs for the treatment of cervical spondylosis.

Can numbness in hands and feet caused by cervical spondylosis heal itself?

Numbness in the hands or feet caused by cervical spondylosis is generally caused by cervical spondylosis of the nerve roots or cervical spondylosis of the spinal cord, that is, the protrusion of the intervertebral disc tissue or part of the bone structure affects the nerve roots or spinal cord, which causes clinical symptoms. Generally, it will not heal on its own, but will only worsen. Numbness in the hands caused by cervical spondylosis will generally not heal on its own. It may be caused by the compression of the nerve roots by the protruding intervertebral disc or hyperplastic bone, or by the compression of the nerve roots by cervical tuberculosis or tumors. Numbness in the hands and feet caused by cervical spondylosis generally cannot heal on its own and is an irreversible phenomenon.
