Well, It’s really hard to explain… when i work out and when i stretch my back feels as if its pained… i don’t know it’s not cramps it feels like it’s with the bones. I’ve always been really flexible and stuff until most recently the past 3 years. It’s not a hurt hurt pain it’s just very uncomfortable and if i bend certain ways my back aches sometimes it’s very easy to deal with it’s nothing big. Also i’m 17 and never had a back injury, but i have played soccer for 11 years.

I’m 29. I got hit by a hard fast soccer ball from close distance 7 months ago, I damaged C2 I believe, MRI scan showed bruising. I took steroids at start & wore neck-brace. The numbness/tingling has mostly gone from head/neck/right hand(prob reduced by 80% in first few months), but sometimes my fingers tingle, and neck aches/throbs. I get worried/scared as doctor said he cannot guarantee I will recover 100% and I’ll be feeling this discomfort/pain for the rest of my life.
Any advice/experience/web pages, I’d be very grateful. Thank you.
sorry, should have said the x-ray and MRI scan showed bones/muscles/ligaments were in usual condition, no problem at all. just the spinal cord is badly bruised.

My 11 year old was diagnosed 6 months ago with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Now they are running an MRI for lumbar spondylosis. I thought that was caused by old age or injury though. She has never had any back injuries. She is in therapy though because high arches knocked her bones out of line. How does an 11 year old develop osteoarthritis though.

I fractured my 5th lumbar very badly and it has been healing for just over 7 months now(I’ve been braced for about 2-3 months in one of those giant white hard plastic braces.Now, I had slight scoliosis before.Will I heal and be even better than I was originally?I’ve heard of surgeries where bones are broken purposely and casted so bones grow back in proper placement.I’m just wondering if anybody knows
i will continue using the brace until this completely heals

One day I rode my bike (stunt riding), lost balance and a jumped off my bike and the fence next to the obstacle broke my fall and put a hairline fracture in my left rib.

I let it heal for about 8 days and then I lightly jogged, lifted 2.5kg weight plates so that my muscles would not suffer atrophy.

Rode again yesterday and it began hurting a lot again causing discomfort. I can’t jump my bike and do rigorous movements without feeling discomfort again.

I’ve been drinking milk lately as well to get more calcium to my bones.

How long does it take for a hairline fracture in the ribs to heal?

I am a college student and I live hours away from my hometown. My mom just recently told me that she had been put on medical leave. My mom NEVER misses work. Her neck is in severe pain and she cannot feel her hands.

She was told that she needs to have spinal surgery with the use of cadaver bones, bone marrow and steel rods.

My mom is almost fifty, she smokes and she really isn’t the healthiest person. I really worry about her. How serious is this surgery? She is trying to make it sound like it is so common for people to have spinal surgery who can’t feel their hands for weeks.

This was a long time in the making, but she said it all happened when she was in the garden.

I’ve seen where at different times people want to know if they have a hairline fracture. I am wondering what is supposed to be the difference between a hairline fracture and a fracture, aren’t they really the same thing? Or is there such a thing as a hairline fracture? I couldn’t find it in any of my medical books. And if there was such a thing, would it be painful or not? I know bones don’t have feeling sensors to them so they don’t feel pain, so why if someone is in pain would they call it a hairline fracture?
So why isn’t anybody answering why a hairline is so painful when bones don’t have any sensors in them?

Can a human punch in the upper thoracic backbone which causes a bruise can stunt growth? Can a human punch in the upper thoracic backbone which causes a bruise misalign a vertebra? How do you know u have a misaligned vertebra? Can u recover from one? Are the vertebrae bones as strong as any bone in the body? what is the chance of misaligning a vertebrae with a human punch? How hard does the punch or hit needs to be in order to misalign the vertebrae (any examples)? would it hurt, would u feel anything different if u had a misaligned vertebrae? any suggestions? any experience?

Much i know about spinal cord injury is very common causes of damages to trauma of car accident, gunshot, falls, sports injuries.And also the disease,myelitis,polio,spina bifida,friedreich.In most people with spinal cord injury may not be able to function there body.The bones the vertebrae around the spinal cord are damaged,but the spinal cord is not affected in this cases the person may not experience paralysis after the vertebrae are stabilized.I had seen so many people with spinel cord damaged and cannot regenerate.Such people are permanently disable,and may require life support.

I was riding on a four wheeler this past weekend and unfortunately had an accident. I was thrown over the handlebars did a flip and landed on my left side and back area. Ever since Sunday I have had a discomfort ,swelling, and bruising from the hard landing.Now, I am a big guy (6’2”, 275 lbs..),what may have occured in terms of my injuries…..I have no broken bones, but the swelling and pain makes it hard to start walking or to be comfortable at all.

I thought I had a broken femur,although there was no trauma to any part of my body. I went to the hospital, they took x rays of all the bones, found no fractures, no dislocations. Pain continues to come and go, mostly come. I am immobilized. What’s wrong and what to do?
Its been 4 days already

I just got out of the hospital over here in Germany. I went in several days ago after waking up with severe pain in my neck and shoulders and numbness in my hands and feet. My MRI showed 8 fractures of bones and vertebrae and 6 discs that were in pieces or disintegrating. The Chief surgeon said also that the "channels" that contain my nerve chain were too small and causing a lot of the pain and numbness. He said surgery is a must. INFO PLEASE??????

I’m curious. Perhaps, with this wonderful recession, I could get a deal. I would like it a tad bigger than my spine, no color, and from my hairline to well, it stopping before my behind.

Thank you for any help!
I’m 5"7 and skinny. Bones don’t really differ much from person to person; no such thing as being big boned!
I wanted it to be just black, with a shading design to it.

Doctor said that after they put neck back together and get the bones off the spinal cord, we can wait to see if any feeling comes back. Is this really a possibility? Related to motorcycle accident and brain is in good shape.

I was struck on my motorcycle by an unisured motorist that ran a stop sign, breaking a total of 9 bones, I’ve had 4 operations and I still have 1 more to go. My bills have hit over $ 300,000 the woman that hit me got less than a 00 in fines and is already driving again. I think it should be a $ 2000 dollar fine and they lose their auto to be sold at auction and drivers license for a year. The fine and money gained from the sale of their car should go into a fund to pay the victim’s. Once they are hit with a fine and loss of their car and license maybe they will think twice about getting behind the wheel and not having insurance. Because let’s face it, if you can’t afford insurance you cant afford to drive.
