Does compression fractures affect or cause pinched nerves in the lower lumbar spine .My compression fractions started in the thoracic spine in the 3rd, 4th, 5th thorax spine. Now the lower spine diagnosis is spine is said that i have a pinched nerve to the point I have problems walking sitting, standing andlying down to the point this pain is excrutating pain with any activity at all worsens this condition so bso bad there is even stiffness in the left side of my neck the pain is radiating every where from pelvic region left and right sides of my kidneys.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The pinched nerve is not connected to the compression fractures of thoracic spine. On the other hand, you could be having another problem of disc prolapse in the neck or lower back region, resulting in pinched nerve and giving rise to pain in the neck, arm, lower back and legs. MRI spine focussed at cervical and lumbar region would help in the diagnosis. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor.
