Our 14-year-old son was in a terrible bike accident last night. They have him in ICU and are trying to stabilize him in order to do surgery. There's a bone fracture in the lower thoracic spine that is pressing on his spinal cord. They say he could be paralyzed but they won't know for awhile. How long does it take to know for sure about things like this? 11 weeks 3 days ago 64
My partner is in the hospital with a bad disc pressing on his spinal cord. He may be in danger of leg paralysis. He's even been warned that he might lose his ability to have an erection. He's asked me to research this for him and find out just what are the chances that this might happen to him. 11 weeks 3 days ago 75
The orthopedic surgeon and hospitalist taking care of Mother (she's 83-years-old) aren't seeing eye-to-eye on how she should be treated. She has a compression fracture of the spine from osteoporosis. All the discussions have been very cordial but it looks like it might be up to us as the family to cast the deciding vote. What can you tell us about this problem? 12 weeks 2 days ago 73
I had a vertebroplasty procedure done about two years ago for a spinal fracture from osteoporosis. Now I'm hearing they aren't recommending this anymore. It worked for me -- is this rumor really true? 13 weeks 3 days ago 109
I am going to have surgery to remove a nasty tumor that's wrapped around the spinal cord at the T11-12 level. I've been told repeatedly by everyone who preps me for surgery that serious complications (even permanent paralysis) can occur. Is it possible I can stay awake during the operation and let them know if I'm losing sensation in my legs without feeling the surgery? I know that sounds far fetched but these days it seems like anything should be possible with all our technology. 1 year 5 weeks ago 266
