What Causes Severe Back Pain And Numbness In The Fingers After Travelling?

My son did to tours in Iraq and got home he had severe back pain. They gave him an injection in his spine at the VA now he has air in his spine and brain and can not stand for long without passing out. Is there a way to get the air out of his system, creating numbness in fingers also? C.Johnson 0000
