It depends upon the origin, Was the origin traumatic?. Or non-tramatic but acute. or subacute. Is the paralysis complete or partial? Only motor or with sensory symptoms and signs too?
Unfortunately as of today there's not an established cure. There are emerging treatment modalities and research studies on spinal cord repair and regeneration that are promising. Hang in there and optimize your overall health body and mind and remain hopeful and one day not too far away you may walk again. Good luck. Dr. F. Sent from AOL on Android
Hello , I am so sorry to hear about your disability. 9 years is a long time and I am afraid damages are permanent. I dont know the cause of paraplegia if it because of a trauma or tumor or demyelination but usually the patients recover to some extent during the first year from diagnosis. There is no treatment available. Please take care and be strong as you have been I am sure Iuliana Kiliment MDNeurologist Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone
