What Causes Numbness On The Back?
I had my S5/l1 fused aug 16. I recently became sexually active again and this morning the skin on my back was numb to the touch, the muscles inside felt like a constant charley horse and a needle digging around. when I take deep breaths, it feels like a broken rib. Is this normal? I have also gone from 195 to 270.

Well come HCM
Thank for asking,
what the symptoms are described here may not be normal one but it may not be due to the spinal injury that you have but it seems to be local never compression or the muscular pain, if it is paining while taking deep breath then it could be muscular pain, you can try some NSAID (Non steroid anti-inflammatory drug) like Diclofenac sodium 50 mg once in day, else it is nothing to worry, hope this information helps.
