Neck or back injury

Scenario: Kevin, who has been drinking, slipped and fell from a height while trying to adjust his TV antenna. When he sobered up the next morning he felt severe neck pain as well as pins and needles in his fingers.

Advice:

Injuries to the back and neck should always be considered serious, as paralysis (i.e. complete and irreversible loss of limb movement) may occur due to damage to the spine.
