Patient's question:
I've been feeling increasingly unwell lately, often lacking energy. I even had a fever yesterday, and my legs feel a bit numb. My uncle mentioned that I might have experienced an accident related to the spinal cord, possibly either spinal cord inflammation or spinal cord injury. I'd like to ask, what are the differences between spinal cord injury and spinal cord inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is typically caused by spinal fractures, meniscus injuries, or gunshot wounds. It is common in car accidents, falls, sports injuries, crush injuries, and gunshot wounds. Spinal cord injury is a significant cause of disability, often leading to severe disabilities, including the term "activity" in the phrase "survival based on activity." Its English version is tennis, referring to teaching through sports activities, literally meaning tennis, and the full name is tennis.
