Doctor: This is definitely a situation where you need to see a physician now! if you injured your spine and now have neurological deficits with loss of strength the concern is that you have a injury that is causing pressure on a nerve root or your spinal cord. The longer the deficit is present the more likely it will be permanent. Recommend neurosurgeon or orthopedic spine specialist now.
