At age 12, i fell on my sacrum hard and my legs went completely numb for a day. what happened?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acute sciatica.: This episode may have represented acute sciatica. Upon falling, one or more of your lumbar intervertebral discs may have swollen, thereby compressing (temporarily) the nerve roots leaving the spinal cord and traveling to the legs.
