What are the treatments for spinal cord edema after spinal stenosis surgery?

In general, spinal cord edema after spinal surgery is a common complication, postoperative tissue blood flow decline is one of the main reasons for the occurrence and development of spinal cord edema, in general, the appropriate application of dehydrating agents and hormones after surgery is of great help to alleviate spinal cord edema, mannitol is a traditional hyperosmolar dehydration drug, but due to its adverse effects on kidney function, water and electrolytes, it is limited in clinical application, and there is a lack in improving spinal cord blood flow, clinical application is limited, and now some hospitals use glycerol fructose, As a dehydrating agent, glycerol fructose has a comprehensive improvement effect on the hemorheology and tissue edema of patients. Early use of glycerol fructose can effectively improve cerebral circulation, reduce spinal cord and cerebral edema, thereby relieving pain and improving patients' motor sensory impairment. The optimal dosage and efficacy of glycerol fructose should be consulted with your treating physician in detail.

Traditional Chinese medicine Danshen injection also has a certain improvement effect on spinal cord injury and edema.

In addition, physical **, traditional Chinese medicine decoction and other methods also have a significant improvement effect on spinal cord edema.

The above is only for reference, for your father's illness it is best to go to the hospital for further examination, and then the hospital doctor will treat the symptoms according to the specific examination situation.

Western medicine: 1. Oral medicine: Chinese patent medicine that invigorates blood and reduces swelling. 2. Intravenous medication: 20 mannitol, hormones (dexamethasone or methylprednisolone).

TCM: I don't know very much.

My father had thoracic spinal stenosis** surgery in October last year, and he had spinal cord edema in March this year, what can I do? Including the best methods of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

It was diagnosed by an MRI at the hospital where the surgery was performed.

Doctors say it's spinal cord edema caused by exertion during the process of resuming exercise.

The information is incomplete. First of all, it doesn't have to be simple edema.

Postoperative reactive edema generally appears within 48 hours, peaks at 72 hours, subsides in 1-2 weeks, and the recovery is unlikely to last for more than 3 months, no matter how slow the recovery is.

The so-called "edema caused by exercise exertion" is not quite like it.

Generally, the human cervical spine and lumbar spine have a large range of motion, and the normal range of motion of the thoracic spine is very small, even if there is activity, if the spinal canal is unblocked, it will not cause edema.

If symptoms worsen 5 months after surgery, I suspect **.

That is, the thoracic spinal canal becomes stenosis again due to various causes, compressing the nerves of the spinal cord.

There is no MRI**, and the medical history data is incomplete, so it cannot be accurately judged.

My suggestion is:

I went to another hospital to find out what was going on, because I felt that the so-called "spinal cord edema caused by exertion during the recovery of exercise" was a bit unlike.

**There is no good way for Western medicine to treat this kind of disease, most of the commonly used drugs have ***, hormone drugs must not be used, once used, the aftermath is endless, it may cause many terrible diseases such as necrosis of the femoral head, Chinese medicine ** has an obvious advantage, please go to the regular Chinese medicine hospital dialectical drugs**, mainly external plasters and internal capsules, generally three to four months can be completely **,

Spinal cord edema can be treated with appropriate amounts of dehydrating agents and corticosteroids as soon as possible. Early. Intravenous mannitol is preferred when used in sufficient amounts, and bed rest and avoidance of activity as much as possible to avoid exacerbated edema.

I agree: physiotherapy, plasters, or oral decoctions are all effective.

It is even better if you can use it all.

You can use the hook technique**.

Your presentation is not detailed enough, spinal cord edema 5 months after thoracic spinal stenosis? First of all, the diagnosis is not very clear, is it diagnosed in **? What are the symptoms of spinal cord edema that may occur after severe visual stenosis surgery due to reperfusion, but not after 5 months?

Please elaborate on the specific situation!

Just use mannitol, and drip it quickly.

Dehydration and use of prednisolone or Kang-aAdd anti-infective drugs.

In general, spinal cord edema is a common complication after spinal surgery, and the postoperative tissue blood flow decline is the main reason for the occurrence and development of spinal cord edema.
