Suggest Ways To Recover Post Paralysis Of The Legs
Slow recovery is possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted the clinical details and discharge summary report of your father.
Unfortunately, his spinal cord got damaged in an accident, and it resulted in paralysis of both legs, loss of sensations in legs and lack of urine control.
Surgery was done, however, it got delayed due to high BP. This was unfortunate, as early surgery would have helped him more.
Now also, we can expect slow recovery with physiotherapy and exercises. There is no fixed time limit but the maximum recovery occurs within the first two years after injury. Also, complete recovery usually does not occur.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
