I just read through this entire thread and I would now like to put my 2 cents into this as well. After looking at the pictures, the steroids not working, the legs, the crying, I have to say that TEAGAN comes to my mind! At first we thought it was a disk in his spine then AAI but actually it turned out to be the ligament was severed in his neck from his injury. Look at these pictures and video.......

When he was xrayed it did not show the injury and it was not discovered until he was actually in surgery for a possible AAI repair. I wonder if it is possible this is what happened in the fall?

YTNR has Teagan now and after surgery he made a full recovery. I could find out who the surgeon was that did his surgery if you would like.
