Has anyone tried any of the Tommie Copper products for pain? I would like to buy them for my son to see if they help. Would it be safe or should I be concerned about the copper and the hardware in...

The above titled article appeared in the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis' June 2008 Newsletter. Here is an excerpt, which sounds hopeful that they are moving toward a trial in the U.S.

The airline staff will put you into a straight back, very narrow wheel chair, and push you onto the plane, down the aisle to your seat, and help you transfer over - or lift you over if transferring...

My son has a syrinx. He began to experience problems in his good (unaffected) hand 2 1/2 years after his injury. He thought he was overusing it, and did not go to his doctor until he began dropping...

I cannot answer your question, but I did want to share with you something that someone shared with me. My son's right arm/hand is always in pain and sensitive to touch as you described,...

We have a van to transport our son in; he is a C6-7 quad. He uses the IGlide which is a power assist manual wheel chair, and when we take him out in the van, he stays in his chair and we lock it...

That was helpful. Although my son's surgeon never used this term, he told us that he removed quite a bit of scar tissue during surgery, so I am wondering if that was due to tethering. I will ask...

As I was reading various posts regarding syrinx information, I kept reading about tethering. I am not sure what this is. Can someone please explain?

My interest is due to my 23 year old son who...

Go to the first mesage in this thread for shower chair info.

My son, 23, has been a C-6 quad for the past three years. Vacation planning has not been easy, but I can say that our trip to Las Vegas last month was worth it.
