It is impossible to generalize how long a paraplegic can live. Generally speaking, if the patient is well taken care of, he/she is likely to have the same survival time as a normal person, but if he/she is not well taken care of or has serious complications, his/her survival time may be shortened. How long a paraplegic patient can live is related to the presence of complications, post-care, individual condition, etc. Generally speaking, patients with no complications and relatively strong physique may survive for a long time and even reach a normal life expectancy if they receive good care. However, if the patient receives poor care or is complicated by serious infections and other complications, the survival time will be shortened to a certain extent. The exact survival time cannot be determined due to large individual differences. Patients with paraplegia should be assisted by their family members to perform limb movement and limb massage to prevent joint deformity and stiffness, and to prevent respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections and bedsores. Once there is any abnormality in the body, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time.
