Spinal stroke? What is it???!
Question: Spinal stroke!? What is it!?!?!?
My uncle had a spinal stroke a couple days ago while he was on his regular morning run!. his feet came out from under him and he collapessed and was on the side walk for a few hours!. His friend drove by, saw him took him home and he was at bed rest for abou 30 hours!. Finally they decided to take him to the ER and he had an emergancy surgary last night!. They told him he had had a spinal stroke while he was running!. Now he has no feeling or control from the waist down (practiclly paralized)!. tomarrow they are doing a test to see if he will be able to walk again and possibly another surgary!. This is a pretty severe spinal stroke and I was wondering what the odds are that he will walk again!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think his chances are fair, there are people that gain control of thier limbs from brain strokes!. it will take work and determination, but with the help of his family and his occupational therapist i think he has a chance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Sounds like a blood clot in a blood vessel that gives circulation to the spine!.!.!.
Like when Barry Gibb had a similar problem with a "heart attack" in the intestines so to speak!.!.!.ie a blood clot in a vessel serving the intestines!.
It doesn't sound good!. He needs a good neurologist, which hopefully he already has!. You could form a prayer circle and pray for his recovery!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just like a brain stroke, the blood supply was reduced or blocked to the spinal cord!. You'll have to wait and see what tomorrow brings!.!.!.
