Can Convulsive Seizures Cause Long Term Skeletal Damage?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Summer of 2002 is when I had my worst seizure that led to my epilepsy diagnosis and becoming medicated long term. It was a fully convulsive seizure almost for a full 20+ minutes. Can a seizure of that magnitude cause long term bone structure damage? Now that I'm in my mid-50's a lot of shoulder and neck issues that just seem to linger and sometimes not much relief for. I still get random muscle jerking of my legs, mostly the right leg, and sometimes more rarely even a bit with the torso.

A seizure that lasts that long is what happened to me 2 in 1 and a half hour. They can be dangerous .

My seizures was caused from getting beat with a Baseball Bat, Chain and a club then falling to the tiled cement floor while in my senior year at Modesto High School here in my home town of Modesto California. And some years went by before I was Diagnosed of having Clonic/ Tonic Seizures and that was in Kerrville Texas 78025 at Sidney Baker Hospital. The attending Physician was Anthony Boyce, which with me he will always be my best Physician that I have EVER HAD!!!!!

I'm not sure about pre 40's but anyone who gets them really bad post 40's and 50's and beyond would be at risk of these problems.
