Immediate Steps to Take
A spinal cord injury can be life-altering. If you suffer one after an accident, immediate action is crucial. Here is what you should do:
1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Call 911 or have someone else do it. Do not try to move, as any movement can worsen the injury.
2. Get a Thorough Medical Examination
Even if you feel fine, some injuries are not immediately apparent. A complete medical check-up can identify hidden damage.
3. Follow Medical Advice
Adhere to all medical advice and treatment plans. This can include surgery, medication, physical therapy, and other interventions.
4. Document Everything
Keep detailed records of your medical treatments, symptoms, and any changes in your health. Take photographs of visible injuries and write down your experiences.
