Patient's question:
I am 38 years old today, and I have been working underground and coming home every day. Around this time, I accidentally got hit on my back by something, which then led to spinal cord injury. When I was in the hospital, the doctor told me that I am completely paralyzed. I am very worried about my health. How can the full paralysis caused by spinal cord injury be alleviated?Doctor's answer:
Due to spinal cord injury caused by trauma, this condition is likely to be caused by a fracture of the spinal bone or a recurrence of displacement, resulting in the spinal cord being controlled and damaged. In this case, the first step should be to eliminate the symptoms of control, and then treat with neurotrophic drugs. It should gradually recover completely. If there are signs of lower limb collapse, active physical therapy and rehabilitation measures should be used to prevent muscle atrophy. At the same time, attention should be paid to preventing complications, such as venous thrombosis, pressure sores, and lung infections.
