Hello Doctor,
I have cancer, and recently my back was broken. It feels like the nerves from my shoulder blades down to my feet have been severely damaged or severed. I’m really worried and want to understand what symptoms I might experience with this kind of nerve injury. Could you please explain what signs I should look out for and what this could mean for my condition?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.
A severe nerve injury from your shoulder blades down to your feet can cause symptoms like numbness, weakness, loss of sensation, or even paralysis in affected areas. You might also experience pain, tingling, or muscle wasting. It’s important to get a thorough neurological exam and imaging to assess the extent of nerve damage and plan treatment accordingly.
Thanks
