Ismael,
I am a C4-5 Quad and have pain below the waist. It's more of a deep pressure
pain. it's hard to describe. I can't feel surface pain, like if I scratched
my leg. But I can feel pain if something a little heavy was on my lap too
long or sitting too long. I can tell my attendant where I feel the pain and
they confirm something's there. So it's not in my head. I have friends who
are quads who can feel below the level of their injury. everyone's different
Hope that helps.
Kathy

I have a question for you guys. I have a friend that is quadriplegic.
Sometimes from the waist down. He feels pain he went to the doctor so he
can tell the doctor about his problem. The so the doctor the doctor did not
give him any prescriptions. So he can something for pain told him is not
possible. You can feel pain is all inside your mind the doctor did not give
him any prescription so he can't get anything for pain so my question. Is
it possible, a quadriplegic could feel pain
