SIGNS OF TRAUMATIC
SPINAL CHORD INJURY

The spinal cord is designed to send signals between the brain and the rest of your body. After a spinal cord injury, the body may lose some essential functions if the nerves can’t communicate with the brain. The type and severity of an injury could be wide ranging. An example of an injury to the spinal cord could be a herniated disk. This refers to a problem with one of the rubbery cushions (disks) that sit between the bones (vertebrae) that stack to make your spine. It is highly important to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan if you have a spinal injury sooner rather than later in hopes of correcting and preventing further damage. Common signs of this type of injury include:
  • Pain while walking.
  • Pain that worsens after sleeping.
  • Pain that worsens after sitting.
  • Numbness or pain on one side of your body.
  • Pain that shoots down your leg.
  • Weakness in your legs.
  • Tingling in your hips and legs.

SIGNS OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

Concussions and serious brain injuries can be difficult to spot in some people. You may feel fine after an accident, when in reality the symptoms of your injury may not have presented themselves yet. Look out for these common signs of traumatic brain injury:

  • Frequent nausea or vomiting
  • Chronic headaches, or headaches that get progressively worse
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Seizures
  • Inability to awaken from sleep
  • Slurred speech
  • Frequent confusion and agitation

Minor brain injuries may have more nuanced symptoms, such as fatigue, lightheadedness or poor memory. If you notice any of these symptoms following an accident, even if you otherwise feel okay, seek immediate medical attention to ensure you are properly treated.
