Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. What is spinal cord injury?Doctor's answer:
So-called spinal cord injury is a condition where, due to reasons such as trauma or car accidents, fractures of the spinal bones compress the spinal cord, leading to renewed damage to the spinal nerves. This condition can manifest different symptoms depending on the location of the spinal cord injury. If the cervical spine is injured, it may result in quadriplegia. If the thoracic spine is injured, it may lead to paralysis of both lower limbs. Therefore, this situation is relatively severe.
