Well hello everyone been a little while since I have been on here I have a little bit of some good news I have been told by some docs, that the problem with my feet not working seems to be some pinched nerves in my lower back the L-1 to S-5 area so now I need to see a neuro surgeon and supposedley they should be able to get my feet working again and I am hopeful but still scared to get my hopes up, I have only been this way for a little over a year but it is still very hard I am working hard everyday, I do have soem movements already coming back in my feet so, please feel free to share any advice for me or just let me know how everyone is....

Jodie Lynn :cheers:

I understand what you mean about not getting your hopes up too high, but it's good that you might be getting some more definitive answers. From what I know (which isn't much!), a pinched nerve has a good chance of being reversed. Maybe not completely, but there is hope there.

I wish you the very best. Please let us know what the NS says. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed!
