Suggest Treatment For Severe Upper Back Pain

I was jumping at a trampoline park and on one of the landings I heard and felt a crack from my spine which caused an instant loss of breath and I am experiencing serious upper back pain. I am not sure if it will get better over time or if I should go to the ER?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

I will advise you MRI spine and if there is any cord compression with lower limb weakness then you may need decompression.

Decompression is necessary if neurological deficit or bladder involvement is there.

If there is no neurological involvement then conservative brace or rest is sufficient

Later on follow rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
