Does anybody know if or how long it may take to start walking again? It's been about 4 months since my fiancee's injury and all I he feels is severe pain in his right leg and has muscle spasm all the time. Somebody, Anybody can you help me out and let me know what you know?

I crushed my L-1 but I also broke both my legs so it was several months before I was even able to stand. But I would say it really depends on how severe the damage to his spinal cord was...

I do remember having pretty severe spasms my first few months... My leg would literally jump from my bed...it was weird. It isnt so bad now though
