Neuropathy is a condition where a nerve or multiple nerves are irritated, inflamed, or simply malfunctioning. The condition can cause severe pain, numbness, and paresthesia (pins and needles feeling).
Compression fractures of the spine can present with acute pain that patients describe as sharp or dull, deep pain.
This pain can be made worse by sitting or even coughing, and movement can cause the muscles around the spinal segment that is fractured to spasm. Radiation of pain into the legs is rare with compression fractures, unless a bone fragment has moved and compresses a nerve root. Patients can also have visible signs of a vertebral fracture, such as loss of height or the development of a dowager hump in their back (kyphosis).
Kansas Pain Management offers a comprehensive pain treatment plan that is tailored to each patient’s specific needs. The first step is a thorough evaluation, which includes a medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic testing, if necessary.
Treatment options may include medications, physical therapy, injections, or surgery, depending on the underlying cause of the pain.
