AS WE ALL KNOW THAT, NERVES IN OUR BODY HELP US TO MOVE PARTS OF OUR BODY & ALSO FEEL THE SENSATIONS...
THESE NERVES WOULD HAVE BEEN WEAKENED DUE TO KOCKS( TUBERCULOSIS ) OF SPINE, & ALSO THE PRESSURE OVER THESE NERVES WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE WHICH THE NERVES WOULD NOT BE ALBE TO TAKE.
PRESENTLY, AS SURGERY IS ALREADY DONE, WE NEED TO WAIT FOR THE RECOVERY OF THESES NERVE ELEMENTS...
SADLY, THE RECOVERY OF THE NERVES CANNOT BE PREDICTED, & IT MAY TAKE A VERY LONG TIME
Next Steps
CONSULT A SPINE SURGEON WHO MAY ADD SOME CLARITY TO YOUR CONCERN...
