Low level injuries people how you getting on?

I’m an l3 Asia C incomplete 15 months post. Ive recently been able to move to a 4 wheel walker. I still have an effective walking range of around 500 yards and then I’m back on the wheel chair for afew days if I go that far due to muscle aches fatigue and it can trigger nerve pain flairs.

For me personally the main thinking by the doctors given my SCI and my other injuries I was never gunna walk again and was expected to stay wheelchair bound. I still need an ACL surgery too!

How are you guys getting on? Is your upward mobility still improving? How about your nerve pain and fatigue thought muc better then a year ago still give me a lot of issues. How social are you being? I still find I’m not being very social since sitting in a wheelchair for say longer then 30 mins starts to trigger pain and realistically I can only really stand comfortably for like 10-15 mins so it make socialising still quite hard!

Hi guys 27 m L3 Asia C. Im 14 months post injury. So until recently I’ve had pull paralysis below the knee but I think im starting to get some return in my calf, specifically then gastrocnemius muscle.

It’s weak but I can feel movement. At first i thought it was just sort of carry through from my hamstring. I need so hamstring activation to get it going but in some positions I only need to use a minimal hamstring activation to get movement I’ll attach a picture of where on my leg I felt it lol. If anyone went through a simmialr experience I’d be glad to hear your thoughts. I don’t have an appointment with the physio for another week to confirm. Thanks guys
