Cervical spondylosis
My spine xray revealed I have cervical spondylosis.
Ques1.- I had Covid 23 days before this diagnosis. Can this be related to Covid?
Ques2. - The symptoms that forced me to go to doctor were numbness and weakness in my left arm and leg,numbness in left side of face,stiffness in left jaw etc.
Are these symptoms normal for a cervican patient?
P.S - Asking these questions here as due to social distancing norms in clinic,wasn't able to talk much when met the doctor.

Your symptoms more due to cervical spondylosis.
At age of 23 spondylosis changes are rare ( more common after 40yrs). Better get an MRI cervical spine done to look for the cause.

1. Cervical spondylosis is not due to covid. It is multifactorial, such as age, occupation involving repetitive neck movement...etc. will lead to it
2. Your xray showing spondylotic changes. Symptoms you have can be explained by it.
please be evaluated by a neurologist or Neurosurgeon. You may need an mri if symptoms persist.
Next Steps
consult Neurologist or Neurosurgeon
