A spinal cord injury is not like a back injury. Spine injuries affect the central nervous system, not just the back muscles. Even a herniated disc or a small crack in a vertebra can result in long-term disability that affects motion, use of hands and limbs and even internal organs.
Spinal cord injuries are often difficult to diagnose following an accident. Symptoms may not show up for weeks.
Symptoms include:
- Respiratory problems
- Loss of bladder and bowel control
- Increased infections, associated fevers
- Loss of muscle control, spasms and contractions
- Sexual dysfunction, infertility
