paralysis curable - #18731

Rhea

I am really worried because my younger brother had an accident not too long ago, and now he's struggling with paralysis. The doctors were all like, "It's too early to tell" and "we'll see how he develops." He hasn't been able to move his legs at all, and honestly, it's just heartbreaking to see him like this. I keep hearing different things about paralysis being curable or at least manageable somehow, but is paralysis curable in cases like his? Some friends are telling me about new treatments and therapies that are supposed to help, but we are really lost here. Has anyone had a similar experience or know of cases where paralysis was cured? I don’t know if I should stay hopeful or prepare myself for the worst. We’ve been looking into rehab centers and all that stuff, and some places mention success stories. Is there actual science behind those claims or just marketing? Every time I see the look on his face, I just wish there was something more I could do, like a magic remedy or at least some proof that paralysis is curable, you know? Any thoughts or advice would be super appreciated.
