Cervical Spondylosis
Cervical spondylosis is a condition in which changes occur in the bones, cartilage and disks in the spine and neck as people age. If a nerve becomes pinched because of these changes, left-hand numbness, tingling and weakness may develop.
Management of the condition may include applying heat or ice, undergoing physical therapy and taking medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants. Surgical options include fusing parts of the neck or removing bone spurs or herniated disks.4‘Cervical Spondylosis.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 12 June 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cervical-spondylosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20370787
