A member asked:
What happens if your spinal cord is crushed or cut?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad Prognosis: If spinal cord is severed, all functions inferior will be essentially ablated, and paralysis, sensory perception loss, and bowel/ bladder function will be destroyed. A crush is more variable with maybe some preservation of function, but could be as severe as through and through cut.
