i was in a car accident 6 days and diagnosed with a concussion and sprained neck. I had CAT scan and will have mri on Monday. I am still very nauseous (have to take meds) and very very tired. I also have diarrhea since the accident. I am taking it easy and seem to sleep a lot which is NOT me. Is this just normal while I heal?
Hello, I have studied your case. I will advise you MRI spine and if there is any cord compression with lower limb weakness then you may need decompression. Decompression is necessary if neurological deficit or bladder involvement is there. Due to medication there can be diarrhea and sedation. If there is no neurological involvement then conservative brace or rest is sufficient minimal wedge compression just bed rest is sufficient. Later on follow rehabilitation and physiotherapy. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
