Cervical Disk Surgery Complications
Cervical disc surgery normally involves removing the disc that is pressing on your spinal column or pinching your nerve, causing you pain or muscle spasm. After the doctor removes the disc, you may be able to choose to put in an artificial disc or have cervical fusion. An artificial disc is metal and can give you greater range of motion than cervical fusion can, which is placing a bone graft between your vertebrae that eventually fuses together.
Danger Signs for a Ruptured Disc in the Neck
When you experience neck pain that spreads out to your arms and shoulders, there may be a possibility that you are suffering from cervical ruptured disc (herniated disc), commonly known as slipped disc. Injury, age-related diseases or normal wear-and-tear of the spinal column may cause this condition. In some cases, the symptoms will go away even without intervention; however, symptoms may worsen that may be signs of serious complications that may require further diagnosis and treatment.
Tired Legs During Pregnancy
While pregnancy is a time of anticipation and excitement for expectant mothers, it can also be a time of physical discomfort. Common pregnancy complaints include nausea, backache and tired, achy legs. Notify your doctor if your tired legs interfere with your usual activities, or if you experience any unusual symptoms during your pregnancy.
