compressed spinal cord in neck symptoms
Injuries and disorders can put pressure on the spinal cord, causing back pain, tingling, muscle weakness, and other symptoms. 1  The spinal cord may be compressed by bone, blood (hematomas), pus (abscesses), tumors (cancerous or not), or a ruptured or herniated disk. Symptoms, such as back pain, abnormal sensations, muscle weakness, or impaired bladder and bowel control, may be mild or severe.
