Spinal cord issue
In my college days my mother hit me with a saucepan so hard on my spinal cord.
Even after that a lot of times she hit me on the same spot(on my backbone).
i got pain, later i applied amrutanzan for 2 days, i got relief from that.
i don't have pain now
Will i loose my height because of this ?
i don't understand this so please let me know
My main concern is if i loosed my height ?
Because usually doctors say 'if anything happens to our backbone we gradually decrease height'
iam asking you for that reason

Height doesn’t decrease with such spinal injuries.

You can do back strengthening exercises to keep you spine fit .
Height is mainly dependent on the legs and injuries to knee in growing age can affect height

Hey calm down. Nothing of that sort is going to happen with you. Take short term meds if pain is there.
Take food rich in calcium and expose yourself to sunshine daily. Do exercises to keep yourself fit and toned.
