About 6 years ago I herniated a disc in my back and blood supply was screwed up to my cord at t-8....neurologist said I had a spinal cord enfarct I'm now a para t-8 incomplete asia c. If anyone has suffered something similar I'd love to hear about it. :specool:

Hi there,

I had something like this about 15 years ago when I was 13. I had some sensation in my legs and could move my legs and feet a bit but over the period of about a week, all function went in below my waist I've read my notes and it says smething about a spinal cord enfarct. It's not fun but I got used to my new level of function after a while.
Paraplegic with Spina Bifida. Sensory and function level is T8. T11-L5 fusion 1993. Laminectomy and decompression T10 2006. Spinal fusion T8-T12 with instrumentation Feb 2007. Moderate kyphoscoliosis. Taking 75mg Lyrica 3xday for neuropathic pain.
