Question
A fall from a height caused a severe spinal cord injury, resulting in immobility of the lower limbs! Inability to urinate or defecate! The upper limbs can move but lack strength! The head cannot be held up for long! It’s unbearable!
Answer
This condition arises from the patient’s slow recovery of the spinal cord injury, so a long-term gradual recovery process is required, and there is no way to rush it. Treatment should focus on paralyzed muscles to prevent joint, ligament, and nearby tendon adhesions, and maintain normal movement of the limbs. Exercise is a great recovery method that promotes blood circulation and normal metabolism throughout the body and the limbs, restoring function to the body and limbs. Facing reality and correctly accepting and actively dealing with it is very important.
