Causes of myelopathy – cord compression include:

• Degenerative conditions such as spinal stenosis, spondylosis, and osteoarthritis, which can cause the spinal canal to narrow and compress the spinal cord.
• Herniated discs, which can bulge out and put pressure on the spinal cord.
• Tumors or other growths that can compress the spinal cord.
• Trauma or injury to the spinal cord, which can cause swelling or bleeding that compresses the spinal cord.
• Inflammatory conditions such as transverse myelitis, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord tumors.

Symptoms of myelopathy/cord compression vary depending on the location and severity of the compression, but common symptoms include:

• Weakness, numbness, or tingling in the arms, legs, or hands.
• Loss of coordination or balance.
• Loss of fine motor control, such as difficulty with buttoning clothes or writing.
• Loss of bowel or bladder control.
• Spinal cord injury can also cause severe pain and muscle spasms

Treatment for myelopathy/cord compression will depend on the underlying cause of the condition and the severity of the symptoms. Some common treatments include:

• Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help to improve flexibility and strength in the affected area.

• Medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or pain relievers can be used to reduce pain and inflammation.

• Injections: Epidural steroid injections can be used to reduce inflammation and pain.

• Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct the underlying cause of the myelopathy/cord compression. Depending on the cause, such as herniated disc, spinal stenosis, and tumors, surgery may be performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
