He suffered a neck injury and had a stroke

The banding of fingers is a habit that seems to lead to a limb that seems obstructed. But despite the good feeling that this generates, it is recommended to be extremely careful in avoiding acute or chronic injuries, such as osteoarthritis.

Something similar happens in the neck, although much more risky if a problem arises: move it from one side to the other by looking for that "noise" that indicates well-being, but being a medullary area, a bad move can cause irreversible damage or, at least,, huge.

Something like that happened to Josh Hader, 28, who was about to die after suffering a stroke for being blown off the neck. The Oklahoma boy was found at the hospital after breaking the vertebral artery.

"As soon as I heard the squeeze, everything on the left side started to get numb." I got up and tried to pull out an ice pack from the freezer and I remember that I could not not walk right, "said Hader. The case recalls the recent case of a British girl who, by a similar act, was partially paralyzed.

Although this is not usual, the medical literature mentions other cases of spontaneous dissection of the vertebral artery as a cause of stroke in young patients. At Hader, his wife had already warned him: "Do not crack your neck.You're going to cause a stroke," said Vance McCollom, a doctor at Mercy Hospital in Koco.

By manipulating the neck, the vertebral artery is in a precarious position prone to injury and that is what happened to Hader, who fortunately was able to recover from his stroke, although for days he had to use a trotter and a patch at the eye for damaging an optic nerve. . He also suffered constant hiccups for a week and a half. After the attack, Hader can no longer look after his two young children. "I can not get them out of the crib and give them the bottle in the middle of the night," she said bitterly. However, even in this case, you may consider yourself lucky because you may be dead or live with worse aftereffects.
