I raised 3 kids mostly alone, and the plus side is that my kids are much more independent and capable than their peers. I taught them to do a lot of things that usually parents do and it was not a bad thing at all.
I'm just out the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit Scotland and been put to hospital closer to where I live, it's an ordinary hospital ward with no room. I'm waiting to get re-homed. I have a T12 complete injury. My legs jump like crazy, it seems to be when I'm doing something new a d not having the correct equipment such as a shower chair and standing frame. Love the video, I wish I had the support you've got.
Awesome video guys. I've been experiencing a major increase in spasms throughout the night and day. It's been going on for the past three weeks now. It almost seems like spasm episodes.
Also I had a DVT blood clot two years ago my leg really swelled up and I was pretty much in bed for 3 months the swollen leg stayed swollen but the healthy leg went so skinny from muscle loss it was so strange to see but mine was only temporary so after i had healed from my blood clot and became mobile again the muscle built back up. I'm just sharing because it was interesting to me how quick the muscle deteriorated because I wasn't able to move around the home even. I'm sorry anyone has to deal with these types of injuries but thank you for sharing your story I'm sure it will help many people 🤗
We were surprised how quickly Craig lost his muscle tone after the accident in the hospital. It took alot of hard work to get strength back! We're glad you found it useful 😀
Makes me think when my athletic brother broke his arm. After he had the cast removed he really had to work back his muscle. Since it wasn't his dominant hand, he struggled even more.
Thanks for the leg cross tip! Building upper body strength helps me do these techniques. Some days there is minimal spasticity and some days more, nothing works. I haven't figured it out. Exposure to cold weather is sometimes a factor.
Cold weather affects me as well I broke my neck and back my skull was dislocated so it's from ears down on my left side I'm still trying to figure this out to hang in there mate sending love and prayers stay prayed up God still works miracles they told me I'd never walk again or get out of that hospital bed but now I can walk obviously I'm a totally different person than I was before my accident. Anyways Give God glory he gave us another day with our loved ones and to lift up those around us.
I could stretch for a hour and 2 hours later I would have to stretch again so I got the pump put in and so glad I did. Don't even stretch anymore it's so nice
Thanks for the kind comment. Hope your recovery is going well and feel free to reach out if you need any info/advice about anything we haven't made a video about :)
I was wondering, can stress or worry trigger muscle spasms? Also I read some other comments about how the cold weather can affect spasms, does this mean that the cold has the potential to trigger them?
Do you find that laying on your back and doing leg lifts with help and doing flex and point exercises with your feet work well. And also with your feet flat lift the hips up and back down? I'm about to get a client with new partial quad injury. I hope to help with rom! He has alot of spasms in his legs and has maxed out the baclofen dose.....so you say exercise helps with the spasms. I was thinking that too and also the laying on the stomach to stretch hips and everything the opposite way!
Hey guys I follow Cole and carrisma another great UA-cam couple who are interabled aswell. You guys probably know them but I'm British so glad I found your guys Chanel and happy to support you guys ☺️
Great video,im paralyzed 4 years now..im t6 incomplete,i have no movement but have some feeling..my spasms are tge worse just like yours.i tried baclofen.doesnt work at all and i also tried botox injections and again nothing..im thinking baclofen pump but scared its just gonna be a waste considering i feel nothing when i take it orally...along with your spasms,do u feel an intense burning sensation? I was given gabepedtin for it and it helps a little..
I would be reluctant to try the baclofen pump for the same reason. It sounds like you get nerve pain with your spasms, I'm really lucky that I don't get any nerve pain so don't need to take gabapentin, although I have some friends who have similar pain and take medication for it. I'm thinking of trying out CBD oil, so I'll let you know if that works for me!

I'm a paraplegic t6 and my spasms was to bad to transfer so I had a baclofen pump put in and it completely changed my life
Those stretches have worked for me. I like the idea of what you said about spasms help eliminate atrophying, and improves circulation.
yeah they're one of reasons I don't mind having spasms too much
Brother I feel ya I'm paralyzed from ribs dwn. Raise 2 kids alone hard but worth it.
Impressed that you raised them alone, we're hoping to have kids one day but atm I feel like looking after myself alone is hard enough

Unfortunately nothing seems to work permanently. I don't really notice much difference when it's cold but some of my friends do.
