HTDALAL,
The doctors' theory must be that there is pressure or swelling on the spinal cord that can be relieved. If the cord had been damaged and scarred, full recovery wouldn't occur. You should ask what is causing the pressure or swelling, which must be what the docs are trying to determine. That said, it doesn't seem very helpful, nor should you take it as authoritative--but it may help you and your brother-in-law articulate questions to ask his doctors. Good luck. You and Brijeshbhai must be scared and worried!
