Hello Everyone,

I'm new,too, and looking for other women to talk to in a similar situation. I
am C6 /7 incomplete and was injured 20 months ago in a bicycle accident. I am
56 now. progressed rapidly the first year and learned how to drive and dress
and transfer. But now I am beginning to have severe burning pains in my legs.
Does anyone else have this and if so, what do you do about it?

Lula

injury,I,m c6 c7 incomplete.To me very aggravating in that i can't move my =
fingers. But in my area there is no others like me, nor is
there any within a hundred mile radius.I don't have a vehicle although i ha=

my accident but my daughter wrecked it and i did not know until after the a=
ccident she only had liability on it . So that stopped me
dead in my tracks;.So now i am pretty much a shut in that i never go anywhe=
re except the doc and store twice a month. I would like
to get a job. But you need a car to work and a job to get a car.
