Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
There is a contusion of the spinal cord and soft tissue injury is likely. This will take 7-10 days to recover spontaneously. Consult a neurologist if the symptoms are severe.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
