I am scrawny everywhere but my belly, of course. I'm 5'11" and weigh 160, up from 145 last year. The nearest rehab doc is about 100 mi. away. I haven't been back since I was hurt - 1971.

He is also a spasticity doctor. I struggle with my weight. I was heavy before the chair, lost some then gained again a few times. I gained more after I broke my back because I dont get as much movement. I have to watch everything I eat to lose it and it's hard to watch everything I eat on such a strict budget but I try. It's mostly my belly and I am sure a lot of you can relate as there is no muscle control there.

First of all- how many of you are excessively skinny? I have been told by my old physical therapist; that quads eventually go to one extreme or the other (skinny or heavy). I have been lean my whole life (including prior injury); but with years of atrophy.... I am just plain skinny. Second- I have not had a rehab doctor visit in about 17 years, I've just had periodic check ups with my family doctor. How often do you guy's see a rehab doctor? I am scheduled to see one the 10th of this month. Thanks- Tim c5-c6, 19 1/2 yrs. post my UPDATED quad site----> www.geocities.com/onemofortom You rock.
