My daughter was kicked by her cousin and hit her spine pretty hard on the stair ledge when she went backward. She was almost 2 at that time. It bruised and started to heal but has maintained a yellowish color for over a year and a half now. Her pediatrician examined it and said there is nothing to worry about. Was hoping for a second opinion as this still causes me concern. Thank you.
Hello! I read your question and understand your concern. I agree with your doctor in the fact that there is nothing to worry about. A spinal cord damage would cause difficulty walking or other problems. The sign on her skin may be caused by the damage to the soft tissues of the back like a reorganized subcutaneous hemorrhage. If you really want to do an examination to be sure that there is nothing wrong with your daughter! I would recommend an MRI of the column in that region. Hope to have been of help! Greetings!
