Hey if you could all pray for me and maybe medic maybe give me some medical tidbits, i was jumping off a balcony and on to a trampoline today and landed wrong and couldnt move my body and so came back to lynchburg thought it would go away and i can move, but there is excruciating pain anytime i do, i have a sharp shooting pain in my left leg, and my fingers have numbing sensations that come and go. Im in the ER right now waiting to take xrays and saw it as a good opportunity to visit flame fans.

I'm guessing you don't need any of us old hags pointing how stupid that maneuver was at this point. I'll say a prayer for you.

well it wasnt so much the jumping off the balcony it was my stupid friends who would do the thing of jumping as i was about to land so it would lock the springs, and then as im laying on the trampoline saying stop to keep jumping. You never move someone with a neck injury. Anyways, no more trampolines for me. I was at the ER for 10 some hours, and after 3 xrays, half hour MRI, and 8 different nurses coming in to check my vitals, im back at home with a perscription of vitakin and a "skip class free for today" pass. Oh but no breaks, no nerve pinching, just "the worst neck sprain Ive ever seen" as my doctor put it.

Glad you are MOving today BOY. I had a very nasty back injury in college, couldn't move below my waist for HOURS. Very scary. Take the pain meds, watch some scooby doo and chill out. I would also recommend after the swelling goes down to try and get into a physical therapists office, some chiropractic care and some massage therapy (not THAT kind).
Glad you are alive and kicking!

1. Vicodin - good stuff.
2. Dumb A _ _ 8) (you didn't expect sympathy, I hope)
3. If you still have pain after a couple days- get another opinion. Wouldn't be the first time an ER doc missed a C-2 fx. Maybe even have an Ortho doc take a look.

Probably ok though. glad you're walking around telling us about it, anyway.
