whats the name

okay my husband is 20. And about 4 years ago he was in a really bad wreck.  He was lucky to walk away. But a year after that we found out he had a back injury.  The dr. was just telling us that ohh he's got thinning of the spine.  Well finally we went to the family Dr. last summer. Who told us it wasnt thinng, it was a hole in the spinal cord.  And that withing 10 years he could be disabled.  They dont know if it was caused by the wreck or if it was a birth defect.  Does anyone know the name of this Diseae?  The Dr. really didnt give us the answer.  And I would like to know.

i cant answer your question..however, you can call your dr....both drs actually... and request a copy of the medical reports. there shouldnt be a charge...but some drs offices charges a very, very small fee.  (some 75 cents per page, some 1.50 pp..but usually its just a page or two)
