Scheuremann's : Scheuremann's disease is the formation of wedge shaped spinal vertebrae. This is caused by uneven vertebral body growth during adolescence. The front of the vertebral body grows slower then the back forming a wedge shape resulting in a hunchback or kyphosis. The cause is unknown. It does not progress after spine growth is complete. It can cause severe back pain, rarely organ and spinal cord problems. Work injuries do not cause schuermann's disease, but it may have caused your problem. Sometimes injuries can cause multiple compression fractures that can be misdiagnosed as schuermann's disease. Work injury can also damage other spine structures like muscles, ligaments and joints causing pain unrelated to the compressed vertebrae (schuermann's disease). Independent on the the presence or absence of schuermann's disease the most important question is did you have back pain prior to the injury. If you did not then something was injured during the injury. You may benefit from a second opinion. Good luck!
