Should I go to the ER?? Will I be Paralyzed?
I re hurt my back a few days ago and the internet says immediately go to the ER due to my symptoms I could become paralyzed if not treated immediately, so here they are.
Memory is bad since the incident.
Deep dull aching pain in Lower back, right hip/butt
Shooting pain down all limbs.
Significantly more on the right side.
Hands weak and sore, more on the right side.
Day of the incident, arms and hands had pins and needles and both hands locked up like claws.
Lips and neck also had pins and needles with spasms.
Neck pain developed one or two days later or at least that’s when I noticed, and is getting worse.
I feel weak and unstable when standing or walking.
Shooting pain in the leg has made my leg give out, causing me to collapse twice.
I forgot to mention I did go to a doctor and I get x rays tomorrow but everything I read says it’s more likely spinal cord compression in the neck and herniated disc in lower spine, and x rays tomorrow won’t see that. Apparently if my spinal cord is compressed it’s very serious and I can lose control of my limbs which seems to be starting already
I want to start doing everything I can to treat it asap but I’m afraid of making it worse
