A member asked:

What are my chances of recovering from c5 palsy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

That depends : It is really hard to say without more information. What and how severe was the initial cause, and how long it has been since the cause? That being said, many cases recover within weeks, but it can take months. After 6 months further recovery is unusual but not impossible.

Dr George and another doctor agreed
