hi all,
i need you all help~~my gf meet with a car accident juz last fri~she hurt her back..(spine injury), so i need you all help me find more information regarding spine injury~~ its slip disc ~~
cos oOf that TAXI DRIVER fault~!!!!!
she currently cannot move abt too much,cannot stand or sit long~and aso cannot play ani sports games currently..`~~
so need information regarding spine injury~~
u must know the conditon of the spine before about checking about the treatment.
Until the spinal marrow isn't damaged, she will recover and be able to move normally. But the disc must be treated in a way which doesn't hurt the spinal marrow. If the disc is pressing on the spinal marrow, she needs a surgery to free this pressure, else she could get paralysed.
It also can be possible that she will have to be careful with her spinal chord for the rest of her life (careful with sports or lifting heavy objects) and have pains caused by the disc from time to time, but most probably she will return back to her normal life.

From your words I don't think her spinal marrow is damaged/injured so this site will only make you worried. The site is mostly meant for spinal injuries (spinal marrow injuries) where the patients are paralysed.
doctor say luckily she sent in in time,or else she will paraslyed...she hav therapy treatment.juz that when it in cold weather,she will get very pain.
the slip disc is pressing on the spinal marrow...so i need to know more ~
The doctor said it was a slipped disk, not a fracture? She could have underlying disease of the intervertebral disc which was exacerbated by the injury...that could be a point of contention during compensation hearings.
The severity of her condition depends on how much slippage there is of the disc and the location of the injury. Treatment varies from traction to surgery..
From what I know, slipped disc v painful wan..
it pains me to see a love one going thru the pain.
