Hi Guys

I was recently diagnosed with spinal stenosis, i will be facing a wheelchair soon. I have limited use of my legs and arms. I use a cane to walk.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have stenosis in my neck and I get pain blocks for it. Have they ever said anything about that treatement? I am sorry that you will be facing a wheelchair. That must be very difficult for you. I am praying for you dear.

Hi Ruth - Im sorry to hear you have stenosis in your neck. Do the pain blocks help? I got one epidural of steroids in my spine. it seemed to help for a while but really .... sigh...big smile now (winky wink) I learned it is inoperable and I will be in a wheel chair. I am praying for Gods will and trust in Him for Everything!!

If you have stenosis in your neck are you arms affected? Do you have problems writing for example?

I am thankful to have a cane! It had helped quite a bit, my back is not as sore after going for a walk. I use it around the house too.

God bless you !

Hello everyone I have mild cerebral palsy, and I am legally blind in both eyes. I was born with it and they say it was a birth defect due to lack of oxygen at birth. I am use to it however. I have never really had a job. It can be depressing at times but I am on medication and seeing a therapist for that plus I have the forums here for support.

I have had Friedreich's Ataxia since the age of four. It is a genetic disease that attacks my nervous system and effects my spine, heart, muscles and motor skills. It is rare so I am not sure if anyone else here has it but I made a separate thread about it in case others here do.

s1mp13m4n · Mar 27, 2011

I will be praying for you....matter of fact after I type this.

~Tuesday~ · Mar 28, 2011

Thank you so much! =^.^=

s1mp13m4n · Mar 28, 2011

You are welcome, I hope that you are doing ok.

I was born with it...it is what they call a mild case but I do not have much strength and stamina. How does it effect you on a daily basis? I have tried to do weight training exercises and I always hit a brick wall and it was explained to me that I do not have the ability to build muscle to the point of being toned for example nor to run for a long period of time, etc. How does it effect you from day to day? I also walk a little funny because of it....like on the outer edges of my feet and am not very flexable.
That being said however, I am still blessed and God is always there and He is always full of grace and love. You know what, I could be worse, but I am not. I could be totally disabled but I am not. I can still walk, jump, jog, lift, and bend. For me it is all about perspective, so I try and try to focus on what I have rather than what I do not have. Is it easy, nope, but the negative alternative is worse. Thank you for sharing and I hope that you have a great day.

It is good to know you are so positive about that ^^

It is interesting you mentioned that you walk on the outer edges of your feet because I do that too. When I walk my spine sways and my legs kind of spread more then I want them to. When I sit my feet are fine, they do not turn it O.O It only seems to happen when I walk.

It is a strange thing that I guess exercise to a small degree might help but I am just so use to it and never think to stretch for example. I did that for a while on a machine but I really did not get that much better so I got discouraged and gave up on it. But I can walk and I enjoy going for walks, so it is all good.

~Tuesday~ · Mar 29, 2011

Amazing! I would not be able to deal with exercise like that but everyone says walking is really good for your health. Keep up the good work! ^^

s1mp13m4n · Mar 29, 2011

All we can do is try, and why not....what do we have to lose?

justageek · Mar 29, 2011

s1mp13m4n,
Technically, I was born with it... thanks to being born 3 months early,
weighing 1 pound, 12 oz... It only affects my gross motor skills, and if you met me face-to-face, you wouldnt even know I had it. Praise be.

~Tuesday~ · Mar 29, 2011

I hope you are doing good with it. I will be happy to pray for you, if you want! ^^

s1mp13m4n · Mar 30, 2011

The same thing here, if you did not know me...you would not know that I had it because I am use to it and just know what I can and can not do. Prayers are always good and nice, so thank you for the offer.

What disability do you have?
