Question
My question is: my son is 24 but and has csa.
When he was only 2 weeks old he had two unnecessary spinals. He had chicken pox as a baby due to my not having it as a child and being exposed to it while pregnant.Since i read that injury to the back causes it most of the time do you think this could have caused it? thanks!

Answer
Cathy,

Most spinal arthritis is caused by trauma to the spine. I have never heard of anyone getting arthritis as a result of a spinal. If it did play a role, it would only effect the two vertebrae on either side of where the needle was inserted because that would be the limit of the traumatized area.
