November 24, 2023 | by Yashaswi Pathakamuri | Posted in FAQ's
Cervical spondylosis, a condition characterized by age-related changes and wear-and-tear affecting the cervical spine (neck region), typically does not cause fever.
The primary symptoms of cervical spondylosis usually involve neck pain, stiffness, and sometimes radiating pain or numbness in the arms and shoulders due to compression or irritation of the spinal nerves or discs in the neck.
Fever is not a common symptom of cervical spondylosis. If someone with cervical spondylosis is experiencing fever, it’s more likely that another underlying condition or issue is causing the fever. Fever is often a sign of an infection or inflammatory process occurring in the body, and it’s essential to investigate other potential causes.
It’s crucial to differentiate between symptoms that may be related to cervical spondylosis and those that might indicate a separate health problem. If someone with cervical spondylosis experiences fever or any concerning symptoms not typically associated with this condition, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis to determine the underlying cause of the fever.
