I had a horrible accident in april, fractured my back and neck. However, everything healed just right except my t4. Its been about 6 months since my accident.
Everytime I twist my body to the left or right I feel the pain around my t4. I also feel it when I wake up, which I think happens because of my tossing and turning. I feel the pain around all around my t4.
Can anyone tell me what this could be? is it my bone? has anyone had a problem like this before? I'm fiening to work out again, but it seems like everytime i do some push ups or something i wake up with some more pain in the morning.
here are my hospital MRI's just incase you were wondering what happened to me.
