Seek Medical Attention Immediately
A spinal cord injury can result from a ruptured disc in your spine or instability between segments of your spine that threatens to allow a spinal cord to be twisted or torn. Spinal cord injuries are life-threatening and should be treated immediately.
Unfortunately, accident victims often think that they merely have a sore muscle. An actual spinal cord injury whether resulting from a disc injury, abnormal twisting or bending of the spine or fracture of the bones surrounding the spinal cord is a life-threatening condition and should be treated immediately at the nearest trauma center. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms below, you need to be examined by neurosurgeon.
- Pain in the spine or extremities
- Paralysis
- Numbness or tingling
- Inability to move body parts
- Difficulty voiding bladder or bowels
- Progressive sensory changes
Personal injury attorney Schneikart can recommend an experienced neurosurgeon to evaluate your injuries.
