Patient's question:
At that time, I was hit by something on my left shoulder and back. I felt a headache, neck pain, chest pain, and lower back pain, but I still walked two miles home. I was taken to the hospital at 6 PM, three hours after the injury. The condition improved, but I had no sensation in my limbs, only in my head and face, and I lost control of my bladder and bowels. After the hospital conducted a thorough examination and found all indicators normal, they suspected that the spinal cord might have been damaged.What kind of help is needed: What should be paid attention to when suffering from spinal cord injury?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, it should be a spinal cord injury caused by a crush injury. It is best to receive timely treatment. In this case, it is advisable to stay in the hospital for a period of treatment. During the hospital stay, you should follow the doctor's instructions. After discharge, it is important to continue resting for a while, and you will gradually make a full recovery. In most cases, this situation may be due to some damage to the cauda equina nerve, resulting in these symptoms. It is recommended to pay close attention during this period and avoid excessive movement as much as possible. Generally, a period of gradual rehabilitation therapy is required.
