A member asked:
Can an injury to your lower spine cause venous insufficiency in your legs and edema in your body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not feasible to provide an accurate answer as details regarding the injury are crucial. But typically, if this involves trauma to the lumbosacral spine itself, there would be no expectation of peripheral edema secondarily unless spinal cord damage occurred causing paralysis and dependent edema as a complication.
