The brain and the rest of the body are connected by the spinal cord to send messages about physical sensations. After a spinal cord injury, this pathway is interrupted. There is nothing wrong or changed with your body. It is that the message about “this feels good” can’t get to the brain like it did before. This document explains some of the common sexual problems experienced after a spinal cord injury. You can call the Outpatient Nurse if you have questions, at 604 737-6322.
