In today's world, many people suffer back or neck injuries at work or through other accidents. A back injury can be very painful and disabling. Many times, a person can experience pain in their spine, including their neck and back, which will prevent them from performing any type of work.
An indicator of a severe problem in the spine is usually indicated by numbness or tingling in another area of the body. For example, an injury to the low back can produce pain, numbness and tingling in a person's buttock, down their leg, or even in their foot. Likewise, the injury to a person's neck can produce pain, numbness and tingling in a person's shoulder area, in their arm, or even in their hands and fingers. Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling are often the result of a ruptured or herniated disc which is a serious injury.
When someone sustains a back or neck injury while lifting or in any other type of accident, you should consult a doctor immediately. If another person or party is responsible for your injury, you may wish to consult with an attorney. The effects of severe back or neck injury in many cases are lifelong.
