Does A Fall With An E5 Fracture Warrant An ER Visit?
I fell yesterday, stiking my lumbar area. shortly after, I developed tingling in my feet, which has since has moved up to my thighs six years ago, I fell out of bed, noted tingling in my hands. i was diagnosed with a C5 incomplete fracture which required 2 surgeries and left me paralysed . I recovered after 6 months in rehab. Should I go to the E.R?

hi,
I think you should go to ER and take up and x-ray or an MRI. if your pain is disabling surely you should go to ER. but if it is not much then why don't you try doing some hot water fermentation for lower back muscles which will be spasm and then slowly look for some exercise which helps strengthen your core muscles. I am sure you will be helped and the pain and tingling sensation will come down.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
