What are the symptoms of spinal cord compressing nerves?
There are 3 1 pairs of human spinal nerves.

From top to bottom, it is divided into 8 pairs of cervical nerves (C 1? 6? 5C8)

Thoracic nerve 12 pair (T 1? 6? 5T 12), 5 pairs of lumbar nerves (L 1? 6? 5L5), sacral nerve 5 pairs of lumbar disc herniation exercises (S 1? 6? 5S5)

A pair of caudal nerves (Co) each pair of spinal nerves is divided into anterior and posterior branches, which are responsible for somatic nerves and visceral nerves (i.e. autonomic nerves) respectively according to their functions.

Somatic nerves are distributed in all limb muscles.

Visceral nerves are distributed in blood vessels, glands and viscera of the whole body.

Spinal nerve control of the human body The following describes the spinal nerve control of various parts of the human body.

1. Cervical nerve: In short.

The superior cervical nerve belongs to the cervical plexus.

Distributed in the head and face, if this nerve is compressed,

Can cause neurasthenia, insomnia, headache, dizziness, memory loss and other head symptoms.

And facial symptoms such as pallor, rough skin, eyes, ears and nose. The middle and lower cervical nerves belong to the brachial plexus.

Distributed in both hands

Including shoulders, elbows, arms and fingers. If this nerve is compressed,

It will cause weakness of hands, numbness, pain, sadness, winter depression, two fingers insufficiency, pain in fifty shoulders and elbows, sadness, and other symptoms will be caused by carotid artery from the heart.

From each transverse foramen of cervical vertebra to the brain from bottom to top, if any cervical vertebra is displaced,

Will compress the vertebral artery

Causing insufficient blood supply to the brain

Lead to brain hypoxia and poor blood circulation in the brain.

So it is easy to cause dizziness, headache, hypertension, cerebral vascular obstruction and stroke.

2. Thoracic Vertebral Nerve: Simply put

The upper thoracic vertebra nerve belongs to the "cardiothoracic nerve" and is responsible for the chest organs such as the heart and lungs.

If this nerve is compressed,

It can cause symptoms such as heart, trachea, respiratory tract, lung and breast.

The common symptoms are chest tightness, palpitation and dyspnea. The middle thoracic nerve belongs to "visceral nerve", which is distributed in abdominal organs and is responsible for organs such as liver, stomach, gallbladder, duodenum and small intestine.

If this nerve is compressed,

Will cause problems with these organs.

The common symptoms are fatigue, poor appetite and poor prevention and treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Lower thoracic nerve belongs to "visceral nerve".

Distributed in abdominal cavity and superior mesenteric organs.

Responsible for kidney, large intestine, bladder and other organs.

If this nerve is compressed,

Will cause problems with these organs.

Common symptoms include foot edema, frequent urination, constipation and indigestion.

3. Lumbosacral nerve: This nerve belongs to lumbar plexus and sacral plexus, and its somatic nerve is distributed in both legs.

Including thighs, knees, calves, ankles and soles; Its visceral nerve belongs to "visceral nerve", "lumbar visceral nerve" and "visceral sacral nerve"

Organs distributed in mesentery and pelvis.

The common symptoms of uterus, ovary, bladder, anus and reproductive organs are pain, sadness, weakness, numbness, indifference in winter, knee pain and ankle pain caused by sciatic nerve compression.

And symptoms such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, uterine or ovarian tumors, hemorrhoids and impotence.
