Suggest Remedy For Spinal Cord Inflammation

Hi doctor Hope this email finds you well. I have an issue which is making me worry as I see no solution todate.I had an accident 2 years ago and injured T8.We went to india to have it repaired and according to the doctor it was successful.The doctor assured us that the spinal code was not damaged only inflammation which they decompressed. They told me that the nerves will take time to grow and might take 18-24 months.Its now 2yrs since the operation and the best result I have is feeling my stomach. I still have no bladder control.My legs tend to move involuntarily as I have no feeling of them and sometimes they really jump when my nails are cut.Due to this I had to see a neurologist last week. In our town its very difficult to get a neurologist. This one comes once in a month.He examined my belly and legs and said the growth is now upto T12. He gave me some muscle relaxers and when I informed him if there is any nerve growth medicines he said its better if it heels by itself instead of interfering with the normal body mechanism. No other test was done to me.As you know this is a worrying situation for me and its getting me worried Would like some advice from your goodself if there is any thing can be done. Thanking you in advance and hope am not a bother. Msellem Hamoud

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist 's  Response
hi,

thank you for providing a brief history of your illness.

Since you mentioned you have met an accident and injured the T8 level spinal column area and the neurosurgeon have decompressed it. Understanding the scene here is you are a bit annoyed by the bladder control, movement of legs and abnormal sensation. Now since its been 2 years and a much done onto for your good till date by all specialists. Help is always an inch away and doctors are always here to help.

I wish to know if you have tried doing physiotherapy, if not than you should start it again. As the surgery was successful the later part was to take the regular medicines and regular physiotherapy.

Bladder control exercises are known to a physiotherapist which he can teach you and brain always tends to keep learning. Now since you are looking here with some remedy for you, i would say that the doctors have done a great job till date, now you have to put a conscious effort to undergo a physiotherapy session and get yourself helped. Physiotherapy is not only about exercise but even about the deeper science behind it. All things done till now by doctors was excellent, now the body has to produce some internal medicine which has to make a help. Symptomatic help was done at the best. Now its the body turn to produce the requirements.

I have seen many patients with such injuries and on the later side of the years are helped by a physiotherapist and things have turn on a positive side for many.

Kindly try to undergo physiotherapy and make the body metabolic system to take the next charge. Its never easy to get back on but its never impossible to become better again.

with the grace of almighty i wish you a positive outcome soon.
