My husband just suffered a spinal cord injury in the C6 vertebrae. Where do i start?

First of all is he in the hospital? Spine injuries are very dangerous and needs to be seen by a neurologist right away. Some spinal injuries will be ok in time but your husbands seems like he needs to be treated right away. If it is his c6 that means that the spinal injury is in his neck. that seems wrong because the neck spinal cord controls the use of his arms and the L spine (the spine in your lower back) controls his legs. I know this because I just had spine surgery in my neck for C-4@5 and 5@6.last April. I have a plate holding my new bones together. I also have problems with my L series as well.and my legs go out on me. Either way did your husband have an MRI or a cat scan? MRI is the best to see the problem? Anyway your husband should be treated by a specialist. The best thing to do for him yourself is just be there for him, spine injuries are very painful. I know because I was there myself.
