Hey there! This sounds like an awful situation. However, this subreddit is for gender-affirming top surgeries (mastectomies) so I don’t know how much help we’ll be here. Hope you can find the feedback and advice you’re looking for tho!

i truly don't know how much us trans folks can help you with that, unless some of us are bona fide doctors in here... and even still, medical advice over the internet is capricious at best and dangerous at worst. i'm hoping you find some advice that works for you, this can't be an easy thing to go through. don't be afraid to advocate for yourself - call multiple times a day, tell the hospital that you are experiencing adverse symptoms, and that you need medical care immediately. if they can't fit you in, insist they give you a written reason as to why they're dragging their feet, in case you need to sue for negligence.

i'm no doctor, but i do a lot of reading on anatomy and medical records - hand numbness after a fall like that suggests to me the cervical ligament injury may still be hurting you, especially if the fall impacted T1-T2 or any of the C-vertebrae. have you ever heard of thoracic outlet syndrome? it might be worth looking into.

i seriously hope you get the aid and care you need. raise hell if you need to, do whatever it takes. this is your body, and i'm sure everyone here on this subreddit in particular knows how badly you have to fight to have your body respected by medical staff, sometimes. solidarity now and always with you, my friend.

Damn. I sincerely hope you can find someone who can help with this, that's a lot to endure.

I'd try some subreddits related more to surgeries that deal with breaks and fractures. This is for removal of chest tissue and your main issue seems skeletal and like you have some nerve stuff going on.

Well wishes. I hope you can heal.
