I'm not trying to be an ass dj, but how does a pinched nerve produce bilat symptoms? Can you be more specific about what T1(I think that's what you meant) controls?

I see what you are thinking but would also have the suspicion that this might be a little more serious.

I must admit, I looked on google for nerves controlled from the spine. I will go back and look it up. I threw that out there because it seemed so specific. let me see if I can track it down again and post it here.

It is because the symptoms were bilat, that made me look for a "common demoninator".

My Edit: There is a site called suddenlyms.com that has an illustration of what I was talking about. I tried to copy and paste the image here but for some reason couldn't get it to work.

I have conflicting tretments here. Backboard or not?

How do we take this guy from the position he is in, and get him on a backboard?

If he is sitting I would immobilize with a KED the concern being a spinal chord section. Moby gave it away with the xray.
