All kinds of osteoarthritis can also lead to hyperosteogeny, muscle tension oppressing nerves, leading to blindness, and the hands and feet in the innervation area are often numb.

The occurrence of cervical spondylosis will compress the nerves, causing discomfort in lower limbs, especially pain. Sometimes the nerves of hands and feet will be affected and numb, especially when cervical spondylosis occurs, the spine will be compressed and the nerves of hands and feet will also be affected. Not only will my hands and feet be numb, but sometimes I will feel dizzy.
