Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Give me more details and history of 4 years. It should be more accurate. You are saying that you have been in cast for 4 years and never walked and that's very depressing. But have you had some surgeries or what exactly happened during the past years?
Just want to say that whatever state you have been in or will be in future, it will pass and you will walk again. It will happen with special physiotherapy care because your muscles were sleeping and became week and flaccid so you will need a lot of physical exercises and sessions.
Don't worry as human body can survive stuff that you cannot imagine such as people with strokes, hemiplegias, and paralysis etc. Nowadays development is extensive and a lot of varieties are already available. I am sure you will find your best way.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
