Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. I would like to ask if spinal cord inflammation will recur after recovery?Doctor's answer:
Spinal cord inflammation depends on the cause, whether it is viral, bacterial, or tuberculous. Treatment is generally based on the specific condition, as some cases can be completely cured, while others may leave behind sequelae. Some individuals may experience recurrence, with each recurrence potentially worsening the condition. In severe cases, chronic damage to the entire spinal cord can lead to spastic paralysis, which may be life-threatening. If you need assistance, please send an MRI scan for guidance. Also, be cautious to avoid catching a cold.
