can this stunt ur growth?

Question

Somebody hit me with a punch thrice in the backbone. One in the upper thoracic area, the other 2 in the middle thoracic area. When i got hit in the upper thoracic area, it hurt only when I touched the vertebrae bu the pain was not very painful (like a bruise) but i did not have a bruise cuz i had no purple spot.. But when i got hit in the middle thoracic area, I felt a sudden shock (the same shock when u hit ur elbow against something and u feel a sudden electric shock) for less than a second but it did not hurt when I touched it like the previous hit. After the hit, I can move every muscle in the body, i can move the trunk the hands the wrist as if i did not get hit.

DID I STUNT MY GROWTH? did i misalign my vertebrae? did i sprain my spine (it does not hurt when i move)? do i have an herniated disk? I can move freely and i do not feel numbness or tickles, i feel as if this never happened..

Answer 1

No, you did not stunt your growth. No, you did not misalign your vertebrae or sprain your spine. If you had suffered any injury at all, you would have pain...the body's indicator that something is wrong.

Your height is predetermined by genetics. You can stunt it by improper diet but not much else will impact your growth.
