Q: Spine - not able to move !!!
asked by: Ivan, on July 15th, 2007

My friend woke up the Thursday that just passed with a bump on his back, were his spine is.
He is getting around his house with a wheel chair at the moment, his mother got him it from the hospital her being a nurse.
He can barely move and he says everything hurts.
He says it hurts more in the mornings.
He said he cannot recall anything that would cause a bump on his back.
His ankles are also really swollen up he has said.
Me and him are knowledgable and we did some research and we cannot find anything to cause him to not to be able to move much, and for him to have swollen feet.
He is 20 years old.
I was just wondering if anyone knows what this could be.
Thank you for any help.
-Edit-
I forgot to add he said it feels more like the spine, like something popped out of place.

Hi Ivan

This sounds really serious that he has to use a wheelchair .. and if his Mother is a nurse, I'm very suprised that she hasn't sought Medical help for him.
If he has popped a disc in his spine, my advise is that you get this guy to hospital, or a doctor straight away..

So you get maximum support and advise - i'm re-posting this problem to The Back Pain forum.

I hope that your friend gets better soon, but I hope that you make sure he gets to see a doctor, or go to a hospital.
