[|Human|] Hi. I recently injured my back and suffered from compression fractures in t4 and t5 area.  I had a vertebralplasty in December.  Since the surgery my back pain is better, but still there, at least I can breath now. But I am having trouble with my hands.  My ring and pinky fingers are VERY numb and my hands are so week.  I am only 36 years old. Will this pain in my back ever go away? and will my hands get back to normal?  I have been off work since December, I had emergency surgery, now it is almost impossible to find a neurologist or neurosurgeon who will touch me. I am at the end of my rope!!
[|AI|]  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. If there is cord compression then you may need fixation. Decompression is necessary if neurological deficit or bladder involvement is there. If there is no neurological involvement then conservative brace or rest is sufficientLater 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.
