r/transverse_myelitis

I’m going through transverse myelitis right now I’m 17 F.it’s all started in like January I lost movement and sensation from my shoulder down now I’m 4months in and I can move both of my wrist a bit of my elbow and I feel like I can contract some muscle in both my legs also I feel like the right side of my body is more weak. After how many months some of y’all start recovering from that cause I’m so scared I feel like it’s the end for me ik I had progress but I feel like it’s not enough I just miss my old self

Hi! I’m new to my diagnosis. Been in the hospital 2 weeks now and finally going to rehab today. I am still paralyzed from the mid chest down. My question is - did anyone leave the hospital not able to move at all on their own and have success in physical therapy with walking/core strength?? I feel discouraged that I’m not able to move anything on my own. I have sensation and tingling, just can’t move voluntarily. Thanks!
