Fractured vertebrae, bruised, lost appetite. Why the drastic change?
My boyfriend and I were in a motorcycle accident, which was his fault. He has 2 fractured vertebrae and I got bruised and banged up. Before the accident he ate a LOT. Now even after 3 weeks, he hardly eats anything. Just says he isn't hungry. No internal injuries, etc. What could cause this drastic change in appetite?
