My husband was hit by a car 4/26/20 and left completely broken. Since the coronavirus thing is happening we haven’t been able to have any truly informative conversations with doctors. We know he has a t11 and t12 fracture. The put rods in his back from t8 to l1. At first they were telling us he had a complete injury around t12 but now they are saying it looks like more of an incomplete at L4. He can flex his glutes and quads so I would think that’s definitely an incomplete? He says he is numb below the knees but when I massage his foot he says he has a weird sensation there and he can feel what I’m doing but it’s not very strong. We are about 5 weeks post accident. Any hope for increased sensation or experience from anyone else? He’s so scared and crying all the time. I don’t care if he will never be able to walk again I just don’t know what to expect from these injuries. He also broke his hip, pelvis, femur, both knees and ankle. He has an external fixator in his right leg right now and his legs are really swollen. So I’m thinking maybe it’s common not to feel anything more until you get hardware out?
