Is this a sign that I could be therapeutic from my spinal cord injury?
I have a C-5 spinal cord injury, it has been almost 11 months since it happen and over that period of time. I have gained some muscles put a bet on that are below my level of injury, such as some abdominal strength, and some muscles in the middle of my back. My fingers own not begun to work just yet. And I still do not hold any triceps, but my abdominal muscles have increased quite a bit. Could this be a sign that my spinal cord is starting to heal? I be in a car wreck in November of 2006 and my spinal cord is bruised.
Having have a break at C7 myself several yrs ago. From what i remeber the doctors saying when i had slit problems with moving.
Its sorta resembling a brain injury. Concusion, only in this case be the spinal cord swelling. So depending on the injury to the amount of swelling. Though i have a break it was a vey minor injury to my spinal cord. Lucky for me.
They explained all about spinal injuries, a really bleak bruise can be worse than a breaK sometimes causing all the same symtomps of a break. and also become a permanate injury.
From all what i can remember and what you enjoy said. i'd think the swelling is going down and you are slowly getting back your control of affected muscles. Though how much and what is probably nonetheless to be found out. Also to what percentage you gain back is unknown.
So i wouldn't get my hopes to high, what you enjoy gained back very all right my be all you do. then on the other hand possibly you'll gain more.

Increased strength on your abdominals and back muscles is an improvement.
If you can independently turn yourself in bed or independently do transfers from bed to read aloud the chair, then you've moved a spinal level down, and that's worthy news.
Do continue with your treatment and good luck.
God bless.
It could be. I would talk to the neurosurgeon and physistrist if you have one and find re-evaluated. Possible another MRI scan and emg if they did one. Make an appt.
