Can you be partially paralyzed from spinal cord injury?

Years ago I tweaked my back snowboarding like 17 years ago i was ok thought I broke my back but I WAS ok. Now today I was pushing a lawn mower up a hill and my foot slipped causing me to lunge forward in an awkward position it hurt a bit no pop just a weird feeling. Now the top of my legs or quads are numbish I feel out of balance I may have broken my back just today without even realizing it?

Answer
No, most likely you slipped a disc or you already had a spinal hernia and the fall has made it protrude a little more, compressing your nerves and giving you that numb feeling.
You will not be able to move if you had broken your back.
I strongly suggest a visit to your doctor or even a&e just to rule out any serious trauma.
Good luck.

What is the cheapest (and easiest) way to kill wild raspberry bushes, as well as small maple trees?

Steep hill with wild raspberry bushes,weeds and small maple trees that started growing from the seeds of a nearby adult tree. Lawn mower cuts off when trying to mow it down, and a weed whacker is a joke. What is the cheapest thing to dump on this hill so that all life (including grass) ceases to exist?

Answer
Glyphosate (Roundup) or BrushBGon will kill everything they touch. If it's feasible, get the area bush-hogged beforehand and immediately treat. This will make cleanup easier, but it's not necessary. Very stubborn brush may take a second treatment.
