No unfortunately..... I don't want to give you false hope but what you're describing is what they told me at Craig hospital as the first stage of return. Normally it happens within the first three or four years..... seeing as you're more than 11 1/2 years post I'm not sure what that means. That happens to me also but only when someone squeezes or touches a certain area of my legs when they let go it stops. Where was your injury? that would help to know.
