what does any one no about t4-t5-t6-t7 injury?


Question:


Answers:
T5-T9 spinal injuries usually involve complete paralysis of the lower body and legs. Upper body strength will depend on the level of injury, but the lower the level, the more upper body strength and balance you maintain.

A person with a T5-9 injury will be able to breathe normally, and should be relatively independent when it comes to personal care.

Do you have any specific questions?

Other Answers:
That means you injured the middle of your spine. Upper middle back , between the shoulder blades. Take care.
It's know not no! I had an injury to 4,5,&6 when I was 15. I now have bone spurs on them and they hurt bad. I get a little relief when I follow my Dr.'s advice and take any med's he perscribes as instructed. He says It won't go away with out surgery and I'm a long way from that. It depends on how I wind up sleeping on it how it feels. I don't go to the Dr. unless it is really killing me. I do some Yoga stuff with meditation. Gets my mind off the pain.
Meg is right...Btw T means thoracic. downwards--There are 8 cervical (c1-c8) above c4 is very dangerous coz it involves with respiration, then, thoracic (12) then lumbar (5) injuries to these may cause paralysis temporary or permanent, and sacral(5) the lowest portion of your vertebra.
