Will my kitten be paralyzed after a leg injury and stumbling?

Question

When my kitten was a month and 4 days old my mom acidentally stepped on him and his leg since then its a bit problematic. He often stumbles when walking and his legs incline or a synonym of tilt, sorry but english is not my first language. And wanted to know if there is a chance that my baby will be paralised or smth. Please help me, Im really worried. Ill take him to vet as soon as I can but just to know smth. He walks and runs but idk, it doest seem normal to me and Im afraid for the future.

Often young kittens recover well from injuries given enough time. I would let him do what he wants as long as he’s getting around now. I expect him to improve and not become worse or paralyzed. He may never be perfect but if he’s able to walk and run an isn’t painful then he can live a normal life. Having an exam would be good when you can.
