Highland, IN asked in Criminal Law and Domestic Violence for Indiana

Q: Gf threw me down to the grounds 3time, next day I had sore back now I'm in the hospital for disk pushing on spinal cord

Doctors asked me if someone hit my back or if I had fallen, I said no because I thought my back just went out the next day because I moved wrong but I doubt now that they kept asking me if I had fallen lately if they didn't think that's how it could have even happened, what should I do? Now I'm in the hospital because I could move wrong and have paralysis. What to do?
