I have a spinal cord injury. Does that mean I’ll be paralyzed or experience numbness for the rest of my life?

Some patients will experience limited movement and feeling in their extremities for the rest of their lives. Others may experience a type of neuropathy that feels like the lower extremities are “on pins and needles” all the time. For some patients, this is permanent. For others, the effects of a spinal cord injury may be only temporary.
