Hi,

Thanks for your question. I do understand your pain and discomfort. I have seen many cases with similar complaints. As per your history, please find my advice below:

1) Do a clinical exam and a MRI scan to rule out any injury and spinal subdural hematoma.

2) If found it will be easily repaired.

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
