When I was 42 I developed blood poisoning, they think it was caused when got all my teeth out. My question is why did it cause Osteomyelitis of my c5 and c6 in my neck . And why did it also cause a abcess on my spinal cord . What actually is Osteomyelitis and how does it work? And when they took off the abcess why did it cause me to become a quadriplegic with severe nerve pain? Also how common is Osteomyelitis? Thank you for answering my question.
Hi, Welcome to the forum. Vertebral osteomyelitis refers to an infection of the vertebral body in the spine. Generally, the infection is spread to the vertebral body by a vascular route. For this reason, there is a preponderance of infections in the cervical spine that occur after a dental procedure. I hope this is helpful to you.
