Searched the forums already and found some good info but need some clarification on a few points.
My MC (teen) has an accident while at a swim meet and takes a tumble off the starting block. She slams her back and then head against the block and suffers concussion & temporary paralysis of her legs. From what I've garnered in reading the other posts, one of the following might apply:
Possible L5/L4 injury (unstable fracture possible w/bone shards)
Spinal cord edema/inflammation
Compression of the cord
Need MC to have a temporary paralysis that can resolve. I have no aversion to having her undergo surgery but would prefer if she weren't significantly damaged long term. Would also need to know corresponding treatments.
Many, many thanks
