Cervical myelopathy (guess)
A boy slipped from one story building.
Before he fell on the ground, he was landed on tree branches up side down.
We feel that his neck would have been the first point of impact.
Attaching the MRI report.
Please suggest how would be the recovery time and risks involved.
As of now(after few medications) he is only able to speak and able to move his two hands(but no control over fingers).
He can sense some pain in legs if we pinch, but he can't feel exact point of impact.
