Suggest Treatment For Concussion And Cervical Neck Strain
I had a 65# recliner fall an estimated 3 feet from a shelf onto my head. Initially i was diagnosed with a concussion and cervical neck strain. I ve had an mri completed along with ct scans, all were negative for bleeds but mri shows disc bulge at c5/c6. It s been 3 months since the accident. I have horrible headaches, spinal pain, left shoulder blade pain, left arm and hand numbness. Now I m experiencing bed wetting. Any ideas?

hi
possibly there is cord compression on thecal sac givig rise to progressive symptoms.You must immediately seek opinion of neurologist/spine surgeon just in case decompression surgery is required to ease pressure on spinal cord.Use cervical collar and pain medicines, gradual shoulder and arm exercises, isometric neck exercises under a physical therapist
best wishes
