I had a great interview with MBC / Sabah Elkhir Ya Arab in June/ 2024 talking about Cervical Myelopathy – its symptoms and treatment. 🎥✨
💬 My advice to everyone: Always listen to your body!
It constantly sends us signals — don’t ignore them.
⚠️ Watch out for symptoms like:
▪️ Persistent neck pain that doesn’t improve with therapy
▪️ Tingling or numbness in arms/ hands
▪️ Stiffness , clumsiness , Weakness in hands/ legs
▪️ Loss of fine motor skills (like struggling to open a bottle or noticing changes in your handwriting)
▪️ Difficulty walking — unsteady, wide-based, or shuffling gait (“spastic gait”)Frequent
▪️ Frequent tripping or falls
▪️ Urinary urgency, frequency, retention or incontinence
▪️ Bowel dysfunction (less common, but serious)
These could be signs of Cervical Myelopathy, which needs early diagnosis and treatment.
