How much mobilitiy do you have? The prliminary research done on rats, took them from being unable to walk to total repair. I know that is the goal of the Shepherd research- Myself, I have no legs at all, nada--plenty of spasms, painful vibrating or buzzing and a very stiff belly band. MRI shows no improvement, nor any enlargemnt of the lesion.
