The Importance of a Second Opinion!Insignificant symptoms conceal calcification of joint lesions and cartilage?!
Many nations have lauded Taiwan's National Health Insurance, and its medical convenience also ranks among the best. However, many individuals have a deeply ingrained tendency to trust physicians with whom they are familiar. In fact, when confronted with severe symptoms and prior to surgery, it is necessary to obtain a "second opinion" in order to receive a variety of health advice and treatment options.
There was once a 60-year-old woman with the uncommon, critical condition of "calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament" At the time of her visit to the doctor, it was assumed that she would experience general paralysis following surgery and require additional surgery, and that she would wait until she was incapacitated before undergoing surgery. In spite of this, she decided to seek a second opinion after being encouraged by her family and friends as well as her unwillingness to give up. Director of Neurosurgery at Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital and Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, Dr. Huang Po-Ren, ultimately decided to administer cervical and thoracic screws, enabling her to walk again.
Based on statistical data, Dr. Huang Bo-Ren also explained that 15% of individuals with lower back pain alone are unable to identify the cause. It is often categorized as chronic tendonitis, degeneration, or what is most commonly known as nerve-compressing spurs. However, certain issues, such as slippage, displacement, or nerve compression, are not readily apparent on an MRI or X-ray, preventing accurate diagnosis for patients with chronic lower back pain. Consequently, routine health examinations and an open mind can aid in managing the symptoms and treating the condition!
【Article Reports】
- 15% of cases of lower back discomfort have unknown causes. These three circumstances may be linked to sacroiliac joint lesions.
- Previously diagnosed with general paralysis, the individual can now stand and walk.
- It turns out that numbness in all four extremities is caused by calcification of the cervical ligaments.
- The patient slept in a sitting posture for three months due to a rare spinal tumor that produces pain when lying down.
