Looking for like minded friends in recovery

I'll look up those supplements they sound interesting.

And thank you. That's great you have that movement in your toes, as difficult as it is to have that injury it sounds like it's something that can be worked with? I found so far what has helped me is awareness where there is movement and expanding it through feeling what is happening in the area, whether it's pain or any other type of energy movement, and I focus on moving as much as possible what I can there for certain periods in the day

Thank you

Since I have a small amount of movement in the torso area and recently have gotten my lower back muscles back, I've been working on doing "sit ups". To most people watching it looks as if I'm doing a very tiny crunch since the muscle movement is so small there, it looks almost as if I'm not doing anything, lol. But the point is to feel the area as much as possible and turning the pain into movement. This also helps with a lot of nerve pain issues that I have which make me disassociate from my body a lot...

Other exercises that I've been doing are feeling the toes, and bringing awareness back to them. When I feel pain there I tend to mentally cut off from it but the discomfort is because of a lack of feeling anything positive in the area and disassociation

In the beginning when working with the therapist it was mostly massage/reiki to get me back into my body, since I was so disconnected and distracted by my nerve issues. I still work at being fully present in my body because it's a habit of mine to disconnect

I have a standing frame, maybe I can send you pictures? I was using it in the beginning of my injury but it didn't seem to help much   I read it's good for putting pressure on the bones which helps them rebuild and keep their strength, so maybe it was helping with that? Anyway I'm waiting to use it again after I get some movement in my legs because I think I could benefit from it at that point. Right now I've been focused on other forms of movement
