That thread about how you got hurt made me wonder about this issue...
I remember in rehab talking to 2 kids around my age who also were around my level but were alot worse.
The one kid fell 3 feet from his brother and him wrestling and was c6 "incomplete", same as the other kid, "incomplete" but they functioned as completes....
I asked when what the sugeron did for them, the one kid said he didn't get to sugery for like a week, the other kid said the same and with no steriods.
It makes me think they are so messed up not because their injury but because the doctors didn't do the right thing.
They both weren't operated on right away, and had no other injuries.
They both weren't given steriods.
I was given both steriods and operated on within 4 hours of my injury.
As you all know, the longer the spine swells the more screwed your going to be.
So both these kids actual spinal cord could have been fine and if they were to supress the swelling ASAP the spinal cord wouldn't have been choked to death, causing scare issue and making them function as a complete when really they should have been very incomplete.
So I was curious, how did the doctor treat your injury and are you "incomplete" or "complete" and did you get any recovery after?
Perhaps there is no connection but was curious on the outcome.
