hello All !!
Need info about the waves i see in my legs , I live alone and after 11months recovery i am standing , a little, using a walker a little, trying to use crutches.
I fell and landed on my spine at the belt level and legs went numb right then, I spent 2 months in rehab finaly the toes moved and am now trying to recover as well as i can. thanks for any help about the waves i have and can see in my legs muscles and what i maybe could do for them. i had blood clots in left leg and have to take blood thinner for about two more months. Hope this works and will try to upload.:-))

Hello I am not sure how and what to call my Spinial cord problem, I am an incomplete, as i had no broken bones at the time, was told cord was bruised very badly to relieve the pressure a doctor did a lamadectome ( spelled wrong) above the bad bruise on my backbone, My legs did not have any movement or feeling for a good while, I could not even turn over, and a week later i had a burning sensation on both legs at the mid thigh level for a while and wanted to be turned on my side ever hour, sure did hurt. in two months , i did not need the cath for relieving myself which was a good improvement and was sent home as i could slide onto my wheelchair and get into bed and out, could get to the bathroom by myself, which was major. if you could tell me what my numbers are i will change my profile, thanks, do you have any muscles kind of rippling in waves in your calfs and thighs i am trying to research this and try to make it stop?
