Spine broke completely by gun shot at back, the bullet enter from back and out towards front at button belly

Male | 13

I'm truly sorry to hear about your injury. A complete break in your spine from a gunshot can lead to severe pain, loss of movement, or numbness in limbs. The symptoms arise from nerve damage and spinal instability. It’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention for appropriate imaging and treatment options. Surgery may be necessary to stabilize your spine, and rehabilitation can aid recovery. Always follow guidance of neurosurgeon and stay positive—many patients regain functionality through dedicated care and therapy.

I am 69 years old female. Since 2-3weeks I was having pain in right pelvic region and slight low backache.. Other than that I had no any symptoms…I had significant weight loss but didn’t care about it much…10 days back I underwent MRI Lumbo-sacral spine with TIM which showed partial collapse of L1 vertebra showing heterogenous altered signal intensity with in an ill-defined lobulated lesion in right half of body of L1 vertebra suggestive of either being neoplastic or infective..Then I underwent PET-CECT which showed Hypermetabolic lesion involving almost entire caudate lobe of liver suggestive of primary liver malignancy i.e.Hepatocellular carcinoma and hypermetabolic metastatic purely lytic lesion with large soft tissue component in L1 vertebra… I never had alcohol or any HBV or HCV infection nor I am obese..And spinal metastatis is very rare from liver…Please give your expert opinion regarding this case.. what may be the cause and what investigations should I need to do further? Also please tell me about the treatment options I could have

Actually Mera spine thoda cross hogaya phele se tha but kabhi pain nhi hu aur aaj suddenly pain ho raha h

Male | 20

Your spine seems problematic; sudden back pain isn't unusual. A slightly crooked spine can cause it. Muscle strain, poor posture, injury - these factors trigger discomfort. Use hot/cold packs, gentle stretches, rest to ease pain. If it persists or worsens, consult a neurologist for guidance.

My mother in law has been suffering from Moderate to severe spinal canal stenosis is noted resulting in crowding of cauda equina nerve roots.

Female | 56

Her spinal canal stenosis indicates that the area her spinal cord passes is becoming narrower. The compression may in turn apply force to the nerves that run down her legs, and consequently, she may have pain, weakness, or even numbness. Depending on the specific case, treatment may involve physical therapy, medications for pain, or in rare cases, surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerves.
