How painful is a fractured vertebrae?


If you or a loved one has fractured your vertebrae from an accident, contact America’s Consumer Lawyer for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

A fractured vertebra is when one of the bones in the vertebrae breaks due to some strong force, such as a car crash, a sports injury, or a harsh fall. There are 33 individual bones in the spinal column which allow us to keep an upright position, act as support for our head and neck, and they are also an essential component to the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS sends messages through the spinal cord to and away from the brain in order to carry out a countless amount of everyday functions from sensory processing to motor skills.

This type of injury can cause mild pain or severe pain, but it all depends on how severe the fracture is. Also, depending on the location of the fracture, this pain can be located in the back, neck, arms, and possibly legs. More minor fractures may cause discomfort that occurs only when you move. A severe fracture may cause discomfort and pain as you are sitting down, lying down, walking, or making any type of movement.

If there is another damage that is surrounding the injury site, such as nerve damage, the pain could be much more intense. This is why it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Doing so can prevent further damage to the vertebrae and its surrounding organs and structures. Also, it does add credibility to your case when the injury was urgent enough to not delay treatment.

If another person caused your injuries, you can file a claim against them for monetary damages.
