Question:

I have an accident by the moterbike and I have hitted by another moterbike due to high speed racing. After MICR and city-scanned doctors told me that four of my above vertebraes that number I think so 7, 8, 9 were cracked. I can walk and move my whole body nicely. The accident has been past for less than 2 years but the pain has not gone after working of 6 to 7 hours and both hands of last two fingers sleep down. Are these problems still with me for my whole life?

Answer:

These symptoms may or may not be related to the accident. You should see your doctor to determine the cause, because it might be a separate problem and could be treated.
