Sorry to say, but " my discs are herniated and displaced, I have Arachnoitis and my T1 vertebrae is dangerously close to puncturing the main aortic artery" is definitely NOT normal aging, even with an SCI. I'm 28 years post injury, c5-6, and have none of those issues. I don't think I'm an anomoly.
I hope you can overcome your medical issues and live a long and healthy life!

More importantly, I ordered this RS seating unit. I have been using it for a year and since I have developed monumental lumbar problems. Perhaps it is coincidental, but my discs are herniated and displaced, I have Arachnoitis and my T1 vertebrae is dangerously close to puncturing the main aortic artery. I am 20 years post and the probability leans toward normal (abnormal?) aging as a C5 quad. All this started however, when I got into this RS seating unit. Permobil has stopped manufacturing this seating unit both here and in EUR. Just wanted to take a reality check.

I was wondering if anyone on the list is currently using this unit, (either RS seat or C500)? I am having difficulties with both, after a year of use. Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. Billy
