Hey everyone. I'm new here and want to make sure I belong..I had an AV (Arteriovenous) Malformation with Spinal dural fistula. I am left with very limited function below the waist. Self cath four or five times daily and bowel movements are a whole new world for me. Have PT three times a week and am gaining strength but the nerves are a different challenge. Have a slew of doctors but one pretty cool one who told me it is best to think of myself as having a spinal cord injury. Anyway, have gotten some great info here and thought I would dive in. Thanks.

They let me in with a CCM in the spinal cord. Why not an AVM? Welcome.
