Update … on nerve pain and movement

T10 incomplete
I made a post about randomly getting REALLY bad nerve pain about a week or so ago. I remember my butt and my left leg being the worst. Fast forward today, I can now move my left foot ! And my nerve pain is 100% gone. I’m on 300mg of gabapentin a day just in case not sure if having that in my system is what’s blocking it from coming back? But it’s just gone? Like it never happened.
I now have more sensation in my left leg and it moves 🥹
Thanks everyone for the advice on nerve pain.
I’m sure it’ll come back one day, I really hope it doesn’t.
But for now I’m just so happy. 😭

BP w fissure or hemorrhoid

I can’t dig stim… I get a sharp pain and that means I can’t empty out 100%. This is my first time getting this pain I have no idea what it is. Fissure? Hemorrhoid? I made a doctor’s appointment but closest one was Thursday. My spasms are so bad because I can’t empty 100%. I get a good amount out but it’s not all. I feel so uncomfortable, I have a bit of pain in my colon too.

For BP I take MiraLAX the night before and I use magic bullet. My BP usually takes about 30mins, 40-50 mins if I’m on my phone lol.

TIA.

I’m also using a hemorrhoid cream I don’t even know if I have one but I’m just using it because there’s pain and I have no idea what to do.

No more water bottles

Hey guys. I’m new to all this plastic free stuff and my biggest thing is water bottles. I just had deer park water and I got a giant taste of like acetone? Or some strong chemical and that’s my last straw. What can I do for plastic free water? Every water filter that’s affordable, the filter itself is plastic? Is there anything else that can be affordable? Thank you !

Seat cushion + Nerve pain

IT WAS MY CUSHION THIS WHOLE TIME!!!!! Im so dumb! I was having the worst nerve pain ever on my butt on my legs etc… I couldn’t even sit on my chair for so long. I cried for almost 2 weeks because it hurt so bad and it was my seat the whole time!!! I switched my Java cushion to this Starlock one I was borrowing while they’re putting an order for my new cushion in and omg 🤦🏻‍♀️im such an idiot….
I have no pain … I haven’t gotten on the bed yet to see but all day on the chair 9am -4pm and no nerve pain at all I’m normal as can be.. omg.

Everyone please check your seats or foot rests or just anything. Who knew that was causing pain this whole time. Gosh.

SCI walkers + nerve pain

I recently started getting really really bad nerve pain and I was wondering if this could be a “good” sign? Does this mean our nerves are kind of like waking up? I noticed a few new sensations and that I could move my toes a lot stronger. I honestly hope this is a bit of a good sign because I don’t want to suffer for no reason, this honestly really sucks 🫩. It burns a lot.

Magic bullet

T10 incomplete.
Has anyone ever used these more than once in a day…? Just to be safe 👀. I ate something really bad and I used 3 today.. please tell me I’ll be ok. 😅 it’s not an everyday thing! I usually go once a day or sometimes 2 but it’s very rare to do 3

T10 incomplete almost 2 years in

Is there absolutely anything I can do to relieve myself?? My legs feel like they’re on fire, as if I have a severe sunburn. They sting so bad! I called my doctor today to prescribe me anything but I didn’t get a call back and I doubt I will today.

I’ve tried smoking marijuana and it makes it worse
I tried elevating my legs and nothing
I tried massaging it and it helps a bit but then it just comes back.

TIA
