      I'm so sorry. And I watched your video. How terrible that we as people who don't have a definitive answer to our paralysis get the worst end.

    In the 19 years that I have been a wheelchair user, I have never had pressure sores, I turn every 3-4 hours in bed, I use a quality mattress and roho cushion and there are no problems 💪🏼♿

      I have had any in my knees or buttock area. Ever. Thanks for the comment.

      Regardless of seat cushion, if you're sitting for a long time, such as at an appointment, traveling, working, going to school, bed bound because of surgery...you're going get pressure sores, even if you're doing pressure release, because I thought doing that every 5 min is good enough and now I have a wound vac on my ass, btw do you get leg spasms? Because those that do will have some fat on them to prevent getting any pressure sores.

      Yes. I think that's one reason why I haven't any sores. I've had only stage 1 on my knees and up

      ​@@nandishsingh2208I'm a bony little thing just like living differently, so we're more prone to pressure sores. And once you get them its hard to get rid of since we heal slower

    Can you do a video of you trying to move your legs and tell us what it feels like wen you try to move
    Please sir

    Although you don’t have the strength to move your legs, you still have feeling in your lower limbs, right? Feelings can remind you to move after a long time. Is this much better than who are completely paraplegic?

      My brain stopped sending signals down to my legs. And I have spasticity also. It is very controversial in that topic with Healthcare and me and others.
      The fact is, is that I'd rather not go to doctors because they're looking from outside my body and only see a body. But they don't know what I feel and deal with daily.
      And I would want to live a happy life versus go into a doctor's room and ask what's going on with me when I already did that, and got bad results.
      To hell with knowing what can be or could be.
      To hell with looking at doctors and think they're people who have the answers and solutions.
      Because they're the worst patients. No one knows what is and isn't. What can or will be.
      The best way Ii see it and has worked for me. Accept and move on. You'll be better off.
