Suggest Treatment For Back Pain And Convulsions After Spinal Injury

Yesterday I got up to use the restroo and I guess I was still partially asleep because when I went to sit on the toilet I completely missed the toilet landing on my butt ,whit the middle of my spinal cord slamming into the front of the toilet bowl before my butt hit the ground. My back hit the toilet bowl so hard all I remember is screaming in pain and the next thing I remember was my boyfriend yelling my name trying to get me conscience. He told me I was unconscious for about a minute and I was convulsing until he revived me. It hurts now and is gettting worse. my friend said the part that I hit looks visibly different from the rest of my back what should I do

Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.

You lost conscience because of the pain, while convulsions seem a bit odd in this history.

At this point you should do at least a spinal xray to see if the vertebras has any change, and in eventual suspicion, proceed with a neurological or neurosurgical consult and a spinal CT scan or a MRI.
You may be perfectly healthy, but I find demanding having at least an xray.


Hope this helps, please feel free for using healthcaremagic for firther questions.
