      If you need something else, my husband gets pain, muscle tightness, knots around his neck and shoulders. I got him a muscle roller stick for 10.00 from amazon. Actually when I bought it was 7.00. He was like this isn't going to work.........but to his surptise , it does!

    • @FreddotheWheelchairGuy
      @FreddotheWheelchairGuy  Месяц назад

      It's called a Quickie Attitude but there are many different models available, you'll find more info if you google "Wheelchair Hand bike"

      Thanks for taking the time to respond. This injury is by far the most difficult thing I've ever faced. It looks like you're adapting well to it. Do you have blood pressure issues? I start seeing stars when I exert myself even for juat a few minutes. Did it start that way for you? Any pointers for improving blood pressure?

  • @davidevans7204
    @davidevans7204 4 месяца назад +2

    Re midnight leaks: have you considered bladder botox? Also, worth considering slow release bladder meds such a Neditol as they will potentially give better coverage of bladder spasms during the night.
    Great vid though - I appreciate your candid and unembarrassed approach.

    • @FreddotheWheelchairGuy
      @FreddotheWheelchairGuy  4 месяца назад

      Thank you man. I appreciate your comment.
      when it comes to the incontinence, I suffered a little bit earlier on this year with it being a bit more frequent than I would like but if I’m honest, it rarely happens. I get a tingle when I need to go and it wakes me up, and it never happens in the daytime, so I’m pretty lucky

    • @davidevans7204

    What is your injury level ? Your legs actually doesn’t look paralysed it’s amazing !!! I’m a t6 and have zero spasm my legs do not look toned as yours!
    Loved the video really helpful!

    • @FreddotheWheelchairGuy
      @FreddotheWheelchairGuy  4 месяца назад +1

      Thanks, man. I really appreciate it. 😊
      I do complain about my spasms a lot but you’re right. I do have a lot of muscle tone and it’s down to the spasms and most likely a high protein diet too.
      They are a gift and a curse so thanks for reminding me.

    I like the look of the vacuum... can it vacuum along edges by skirting boards ,? I can't use a normal vacuum I've tried doing it in my wheelchair but it's too heavy to push and end up hurting myself... do they go around the whole room ? I'm thinking to save up for one

    • @FreddotheWheelchairGuy
      @FreddotheWheelchairGuy  4 месяца назад

      It’s incredible. It does the entire apartment when I’m out and when I come back, I just have to empty the little box - it goes underneath the couch it navigates around wires on the floor. It’s phenomenal. I would highly recommend it.

      - but things have definitely evolved since then . I could definitely make an updated version. Keep your eyes peeled and I will, try and get one out in the next few weeks
