Is Tylenol Sufficient For Loss Of Cervical Spine Curve? What Can Help With Occipital Headaches And Ischemia?
This is Jill Behnfeldt - Initial Contact 12-8-2013 Images available also have lost my cervical spine curve. And have a 3mm herniation at C3-C4. And I have awakened to a numb right ARM, from Elbow to fingers - but resolved in less than 24 hours. I can control my occipital headaches by controlling my neck movement. Only medical treatment is Tylenol 500 mg I take 4000 mg daily. My cervical MRI is available at the same facility as my Thoracic MRI and Lumbar MRI - I signed a waiver so any physician can request them. Thank you very much. Symptoms include occipital headaches, Microvascular Ischemia - per Neurology at Univ of Toledo in 2009, I have most lesions in Centrum Semiovale and PONs areas. I do not have memory issues, nor am I having dizzy spells too frequently. Maybe monthly at the moment. YYYY@YYYY

Dear Jill, ischemic event happens due to chronic desease such as hypertension or diabetes so you have to explore further.Anyway an daily aspirin should be added to your medication to prevent new ischemic events.Your cervikal pain can be reduced with use of NSAID (ibuprofen 400mg three times a day).Anyway you should take contact with a neurologist for further treatment.Hopping my advice will help you wish you all the best.Dont hesitate to contact me for any inquiry
