T4/T5 & T5/T6 Herniation with mild cord impingement
Hello all. I'm a 32 year old mother of two (10 months and 3.5 years). On the first of the year I fell on a wet tile floor, my feet went out from under me and I landed smack on my tailbone. I developed pain in my mid-back and had a MRI which revealed the herniations. I've been through physical therapy with no improvment and am slated for epidural steroid injections.
Has anyone dealt with herniations here? I hear they are quite rare and cannot find much information about them on the internet. Does the spinal cord impingement pose an issue? I have read it isn't good and an emergency surgery could be necessary at any time. I have pins/needles/numbness in my left arm. My worst pain is in the form of muscle spasms across my back in the T4 - T6 range, and pain that wraps around my chest.
Any insight or advice would be great.
Thanks.
