I thought for sure I'd have chosen bowel/bladder. I'm okay on the urination except I just can;t hold it very long. I can sense a full bowel, and can help push, but need minimal help from part of a supp to go. It still dictates my activities, but minimally. and all in all, just the return of full sensation might actually help that. but I chose sensation mostly for the sexual aspect of it. Something I'm really frustrated and stressing over big time lately. If I knew I could salute, and keep it, I honestly think i could deal with everything else. it helped that I only had 2 choices in this poll, but they are so close, I'd call it almost a tie.

Men eh?!I've chaged my pain medication to Lyrica and am now in half the pain I was and I'd definitely still chose pain free. I still have all the other problems that I had before but I am a much happier person now my pain is better, whereas before I was already feeling depressed but having to deal with everything else on top.

I would have to say pain free also. I've been almost a year without being able to sleep properly. During the day I can manage but night times is when it gets me.
Oh to just get in bed and not feel anything but comfort!!!

I am a pretty incomplete para. I have bowl & bladder, complete sensation, and I am pain free ... so the easy choice for me would be legs.
I've been disabled since birth, so I've always wanted to know what it would be like to walk & run. Sometimes I see a jogger and just envy them so much. Also, I've always wanted to hike and ride a bike. We have some great hiking trails by our house & they are no fun in a chair.

Take my pain please! If I had any thing else back the pain would make it unenjoyable.
I wish someone could!
