Do people with SCI ever get better?

Little, Meyers & Associates, INC.
There is usually swelling of the spinal cord when SCI occurs, and the swelling can cause changes in virtually every system in the body. As the swelling begins to subside after days or weeks, people may regain some functioning. The improvement that most people experience is that, within a year, their "level of injury" descends at least one level and sometimes two. This is more likely if they received methylprednisolone after injury.

Do people with SCI die sooner?

Little, Meyers & Associates, INC.
Yes. Before World War II, most people with SCI died within weeks of their injury due to urinary dysfunction, respiratory infection, or bedsores. Now antibiotics, materials such as plastics and latex, and better procedures for dealing with the everyday issues of living with SCI enable many people to approach the lifespan of non-disabled individuals. Other than level of injury, the type of rehab facility used is the greatest indicator of long-term survival.
