I just joined this forum - I have never been on a spinal cord forum before I have never really talked to people about my injury or condition - I guess its time
I am a female that was injured on November 30, 2004
when I was walking to work and a Semi pulling 2 empty flat bed trailers was going too fast and hit the brakes, his trailers jumped the curb and slammed me in the back, resulting in a T-9 incomplete injury I was 20.
I can feel my entire torso and I can move my hips but below that there is no movement or feeling. If I try to move my toes into a "fist" my feet start to burn and I can feel a little if someone pushes on the tendons in my feet or in my legs.
In physical therapy they attach an electric muscle stimulator to my lower back and the top of my legs in the front and I can feel buzzing all the way into my toes now - when we first started I could feel a little but now its alot more.
I can't do my own bowel and bladder - I have short arms and I am overweight
I hope to be able to just get onto the toilet in the near future and letter rip (so to speak) Lol
Sorry for such a long post.
