You should expect to lose the ability to control the side or half of your body that?s been impacted by the paralysis. This is because the part of your brain that?s responsible for controlling the movement of the muscles can no longer function as it should, as a result of the trauma. In some cases, the muscles on the opposite side of your body will start to atrophy. You may even develop chronic pain as a result of the paralysis.
