Patient's question:
My aunt has been bedridden for a long time, but recently she suddenly said that her calves have regained a lot of sensation. Is this a sign of improvement? Can lower limb paralysis be completely restored?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described: Generally speaking, if the lower limbs collapse, the possibility of a complete recovery is not very high. This is mostly due to nerve damage. Sometimes, treatment can be implemented through acupuncture and physical therapy, which is beneficial for alleviating symptoms, reducing the progression of the condition, and preventing muscle atrophy. If the duration is relatively short, there is sometimes a possibility of a complete recovery.
