Severe nerve damage
Hello Sir/mam, my has fallen from the second floor of his office. He has been diagnosed with many fractures including the spine. The nerves in the spine got damaged. Now, from below his belly button his body is numb. He is feeling no pain or sense at his hip and legs.He has also lost his command over his legs and hip. Now my question is that will he be able to walk again? Would his nerves regenerate? If so, how much time would it take? Or else what are the alternative thinhs that we can do?
