Hi Doctor, My father met with an accident and had a spinal injury. edema in the spinal cord C2 - D5. This has left him paralytic from neck down. Can not move his limbs or any other part of the body except neck. A small surgery was done to release compression in spinal cord as immediate action. But his condition is the same since last two months. Is there a possibility of his recovery.

Dear lybrate-user, Your father needs to be assessed by a physiotherapist and depending upon his assessment and clinical skills, will help you coming to some prognosis. Generally recovery chances are always there but that depends upon the location and severity of the injury. If the injury to the spinal cord is complete, then recovery chances are almost nil but if there is partial or incomplete injury then chances of recovery to some extent increases.
