A spinal cord injury can permanently change strength, sensation, and function. Because the spinal cord is responsible for so many different bodily functions, the effects of a spinal cord injury can include:
- Loss of motor function
- Loss of bowel and bladder control
- Loss of sexual function
- Loss of sensation or altered sensation
- Trouble breathing and coughing
- Chronic pain or intense stinging sensations
- Spasms or exaggerated reflex actions
As if these physical difficulties were not enough, a spinal cord injury can impact virtually every aspect of your daily life. It is common to experience physical, emotional, social, and financial repercussions after suffering such a severe type of trauma.
