no external rotation against gravity, can only go to 90 degree fwd flexion, no hand-to-mouth
1 surgery at age 14 (latissimus dorsi transfer). In 2004, at age 28 I was struck with Transverse Myelitis which paralyzed me from the chest down. I recovered movement to my right leg, but need a KAFO to walk on my left leg. I became an RN in 2008. - Location: Montreal, Qc, Canada

Re: hope maybe....
It's basically an add for Lyrica (pregabalin) a semi-new drug that does what Neurontin does (gabapentin) but at lower doses and for some works better. It's for neuropathic pain/sensations. I think a few people on this board take it or have tried it. I take it and neurontin for neuropathic pain associated with a spinal cord injury I have, since March 2004, (apart from the LOBPI I suffered at birth).
