If your T7 is damaged it can result in potential nerve damage, pain and even difficulty breathing.

The T7 vertebra is located in the middle of your back.

And depending on how severe the damage is to the T7 vertebra it can lead to long term complications including digestive issues, loss of height and even kyphosis also known as a hunchback posture.

When you damage or fracture your T7 vetebra it will often cause back pain, which can get worse when you move or take deep breaths.

Your T7 vertebra is also located near your rib cage and when damaged or fractured it can affect your breathing and cause pain or difficulty in taking deep breaths.

And if your spinal cord or any nerves near your T7 vertebra are damaged, it can also lead to tingling, numbness or even weakness in your legs.

And in some cases damaging your T7 vertebra can even cause your spine to curve forward.

Having any damage to your T7 or surrounding vertebrae can also result in digestive issues and depending on the severity of the damage to your T7 vertebrae it could also result in potential psychological impacts, changes in posture and loss of height.
