[QUOTE="jaliveto, post: 488738, member: 29676"] I'm one of those interested types. I see you are educating yourself about your injury and that's great. I broke 4 vertebrea in my neck 14 months ago. I did tons of searches on the internet about my injury. I had a non-displaced communted type II fracture of my 2nd vertebrea called the odontoid. Along with fracturing 3 other vertebreas. My first doctor was the head of neurosurgery at Shock Trauma which is a world class hospital. He kept telling me all along that everything would be okay but did not offer much information about my injury and how serious it was. The more research I did on my own, the more worried and stressed I got. This prompted me to switch to an orthopedic spine surgeon. This particular doctor was the type to sit me down and explain everything in detail and he shot straight from the hip. But what I found is that I worried way to much. ALot of what I found on my own was true but he was able to shed some light on things for me. In the end, I'm feeling great and I hope you will to. It takes time and lots of rehab. I guess what I'm trying to tell you is that you should take your recovery seriously and it is great that you are educating yourself. But, remember we are not doctors and sometimes we can misinterpret things and a doctor can certainly clarify things for you. Ask alot of questions. Ask the hard questions. Don't let him beat around the bush with his answers. GET A SECOND OPINION if you can. It can't hurt. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
