Broken neck question!!?!


Question: Broken neck question!!.?
for those who have broken your neck, did you ever feel kinda shivers or tingly numb kinda feeling anywhere after you were healed or when you were weening yourself out of your neckbrace.?
i just got to the point where i am weening myself out of my neckbrace and i feel fine for the most part, doing the exercises is hard so i stay in my brace alot and take muscle relaxers, but when i showered without my neckbrace for the first time last night i noticed a weird feeling down my spine, i didnt know if maybe it just the water pressure or something (due to my injury i got a seat in the bathtub and i have the shower on me. it makes my arms tingle because by the time the water hits me its kinda spread out kinda like needles of water hitting me. so i didnt know if that had anything to do with it) or maybe im just paranoid because im really nervous about this process, actually moving my head and everything. i literally just felt naucious in the shower.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
You didn't state the extent of the injury to the neck. What about any spinal cord injury.? How was your sensation right after the break.? If there was no sensory changes present after the break then it might be a good idea to talk to the orthopedist or neurosurgeon that is tending to you. If you had decreased sensation and now there is this new sensation that could be a good thing signaling a return of nerve impulse. There is also the possibility that immediately after the injury there was a condition called spinal shock and you are starting to come out of this but this is most likely not the case. See your doctor about this or if you are in physical therapist talk to them about this. They should have done an evaluation that included sensation as well as motor reactions.Health Question & Answer
