What should I do if a blood clot from a car accident is pressing on my nerves?

Patient's question:

Sixteen-year-old was involved in a car accident, resulting in a blood clot compressing the nerves in the head. The left hand and left foot are not mobile, is there still a chance for recovery! The left hand is weak but has sensation, and the left foot walks one step at a time.

Doctor's answer:

From the situation you described above, it seems that the lack of physical activity is likely due to brain edema pressing on nerves caused by trauma. The poor limb movement is thought to be a result of traumatic brain, blood pressure, and forced nerve compression. Since it has been many years now and has already caused sequelae, recovery is not that simple, and there is no particularly effective method. We can only suggest that you gradually exercise and see if there is a possibility of recovery.
