    Whatever is going on, I hope they manage to figure it out and fix it up quickly.

    I broke my neck....WASHING MY HAIR!!!!!!!!!! Didn't know it, thought it was muscular and carpal tunnel. 3 months later the diagnosis made. Had surgery (C5-C6 anterior discectomy and fusion) Healed up fine. Only minor issues since. Found out after surgery that if I had been in even a minor car accident probably would have been a quad. Almost threw up when I heard that. If they didn't put you in a collar and a squad straight to the ER you have what is called a "stable" vertebral fracture. Those are the kind that don't mess with the spinal cord. Can't tell you not to worry but my thoughts re with you.

    Are they sure that was your xray? Mistakes do get made.

    Hoping for the best.

    I hope they put you in a cervical collar? If not, you need to insist on one. I had a cervical fusion 1.5 years ago too. Other than some transient numbness & soreness when riding over three hours, all is OK. I'm probably a tad older than you too...

    Hah! Clever!!!

    Very scary - I hope they figure out what it is. Maybe it's the cause of your ongoing problems? Regardless, it needs to be fixed. What a shock though!
