Question
My brother inlaw has injured in motor cycle accident. Doctors saying that he has injured with spinal cord (L3). His body below chest has no sensation. I just want to know after operation can he walk with his lags and what about sensation ????

Answer
Hi Malti, I would suggest you ask his doctors whether they think he will walk again or not, they should be able to give you some type of estimate on past experiences with that type of surgery. I do know that Lumbar injuries can result in loss of function in the hips and legs. I would think the doctors think there is hope for his recovery or why perform the surgery, but I'm not a doctor. I will pray he regains full use and sensation of his entire body. Sincerely, Ken
