A week ago I slipped backwards and hit the ground hard on my bum/lower back.
I've had pain and some loss of sensation around where I hit it. I also have pins and needles in my hands and feet sometimes. I also had some pains in my legs during the night. I can walk ok. The pain has improved but the other symptoms not so much. I went for an X ray of my back and they said nothing was broken. They said if it doesn't improve at all in a week then come back for an MRI. The doctor checked my reflexes and said they were fine. He said the 'numbness' could be compression of the nerves. But didn't seem too worried.
I've been googling and course all I can find is spinal cord injury that is irreversible 🙁🙁🙁🙁 I could have a minor one that won't get better, and you don't need to break bones to get one. I've been crying for days and all I can do is wait and see if it improves, I feel so down, I wish I could go back in time and not be so careless 😭
