I was hit in a crosswalk by a driver who ran a red light, and my SI and S2 vertebrae were broken, and now I cannot get an erection. What is the chance of scaral nerve regeneration? It s been six months now. I am 56, in good health, and a T-12 paraplegic from a previous MVA in 2006.
Hi, thank you for asking Chat Doctor. I am sorry to hear about that. The prognosis would depend on the damage sustained by the nerve. If the nerve is intact and the problem is compression, decompression can be done may be with surgery. But if the nerve is cut, regeneration would be difficult. The exact cause needs to be known. If I were your treating doctor, I would ask for scans (CT scan or MRI). I hope that answers your query. If you have more questions or any follow-up query do not hesitate to write to us. I wish you well
