Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
In case of spina bifida, such problems related to nerve dysfunction are common. After surgery, gradual improvement of functions is seen as the nerve edema subsides and nerve connections are established.
When was she operated?
Were these problems present prior to surgery also?
Her recovery depends on the degree of spina bifida she had and how well the surgery has been performed.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
