"now she's trying to..." what? I thought that when you break your neck that's it, lights go out end of show. How did she end up trying to do anything?
Oh no. It depends on if any/which nerves are crushed/cut.
So she literally had to hold her head around to do anything the entire time? That's crazy. I'm guessing she just stood there motionless on the floor the entire time. That's what I would do to prevent pain if you move the wrong way.
I know it's tempting to rationalize something this evil as being fake. It would be nice if it were. But these kinds of comments just serve to further deny humanity to people who end up this badly mistreated.
I totally don't think it's fake. I was more interested as to how the heck she got out of that situation. Like another commenter said, the injury varies, but maybe if you move it gets worse. But like somebody must have found her on the floor and helped her? I'm thinking maybe somebody found her on the floor then called paramedics? Because otherwise maybe she wouldn't have had a chance at all.
I had sciatica pain and the best way to avoid it was to just not move my legs. Otherwise it was like normal normal....oh you're dying from the pain, then back to normal. So I'm guessing that's how it feels on the neck with a nerve injury that produces pain.
She had a broken fucking neck. It's not up for debate. Just stop.
That's not how every spinal injury works. It's honestly roll of the dice every time and different for every individual. It can rang from tingling in one or more limbs, extreme pain, loss of control of all voluntary movements, to death.
There are multiple components running through your neck that coincide with the spinal column. Nerves, blood vessels, the larynx, muscles, all kinds of things. Traumatic injury to the neck can break one or many of those things and not all in the same way, even with similarly natured injuries.
Someone could break the bones in their neck while maintaining an intact nervous system and not lose the ability to move around, or someone else can snap their nerves or puncture their larynx and suffocate. It all depends.
Believe it or not, they lie to you in movies / tv.
LOL fair enough.
