Jim.,
I googled the wors incomplete spinal cord injury a came across a web
site that might answer you question regarding the chance for leg
movement and use after a sci. I've had TM for eight years and am always
amazed at the info we have at our finger tips. The articles were short
and explained when to expect continued movement and when the chances get
slimmer.

I tried to copy and paste, however, my browser won't allow it.
I had an incomplete sci. I could move my toes within 24 hours of
receiving my first dose of steriods by IV. The staff had me standing
with a walker around day four and I went into rehab on day six. I walk
with a cane and have continuous pain and discomfort but still lead a
good life.

From the discussion of Pins and Needles it seems that most of you are
able to get around and have some use of your legs. I have pins and
needles from my feet to my belly and no use of my legs at all. And they
weigh a ton. Been like this since day one. Did any of you lose the
use of your legs and then get them back? If so, how long did it take
and how did you do it?
