Any C6 or higher with hand function?

Welcome bbarbeau

One thing i can say with confidence is that no two injuries are the same, no two levels are identical so there will always be differences. You are making improvements which is reassuring.

There is every possibility that you will continue and as DJ mentioned, it all comes down to hard work, keep stretching and keep exercising and stay positive.

Its a good idea to journal daily because you will actually be amazed at what progress you will make without even realising until you look back

Hey Beau, I've heard of central cord syndrome, where your lower body is more preserved and your arms and hands are more paralysed (I have that a little).  I wonder if there's a counterpart, outer cord syndrome maybe, that could explain what you present.  You know how tracts for different functions and body areas run up different parts of the spinal cord?  So if one person's injury affected the outside of the cord more, maybe they'd have more upper body function, vs someone who had the center of the cord damaged more and had more lower body function preserved.  Just my amateur speculation. 

Sorry for not responding to anyone for so long. I have had so much going on lately that really have touched the internet...emails or much with my phone other than some texts and phone calls. Been concentrating on therapy so much. We do so much with our phones that you get withdrawals and feel like something is missing when you don't use it. But to give an update I've had significant feeling return down the back of my right leg and some down the left. My core is really starting to respond. Mostly on the right which kind of makes me lean to the left while I'm in my chair so I need to make sure I sit straight. I don't need to cause anymore issues. We all know that its hard enough and don't need anymore put on us. I forgot when I originally posted on here that a friend of mine mother had a spinal cord injury. I ran into him a couple weeks ago and he said I was looking like myself again and started talking about his mom. She spent 6 months in the hospital and rehab before coming home. She was a C5 and it was right around 5 years but she recovered almost 100%. I think she just walks with a slight limp. That's rare to see as well. No 2 injuries are alike is what I've always been told. How bad are spasms for everyone? I didn't get spasms until about 8 months after the accident.

Good to see you back bbarbeau. I have now realised and learnt that my spasms worsen on activity i partake in. If i practice more upright mobility then I certainly suffer more spasms and they are mostly in my ankles although in my thigh sometimes.

My spasms have certainly become more obviously worse over time.

Its so true what you say chris,it is amazing what we can actually recover when we put our mind and energy into it. The only cut off point for recovery will be when someone gives up believing so.
