Wow...it's been only 3 months since I walked. I practiced on my crutches yesterday and it felt like I was gonna have a hard time. Trusting my foot is gonna be one of the biggest hurdles I think. I can't imagine 4 years and how hard that would seem.
Hey man this is probably one of the most motivational thing I’ve ever seen. I’m only a teenager (16) and my leg is spasms King so much I may need to go into a wheelchair. But this video really helped me believe. Thank you love.
Good on you bro. I had an injury in my spine 4 years ago. Barely any range of motion for a while. 2 years of therapies and then hard exercise. Yoga, and swimming really helped. Recently had a knee injury. Required surgery. That leg has been learning to walk recently. That first walk with crutches was agony, my left feet just scraping the floor. Everyday walking a bit easier, able to plant that leg more firmly into the ground. Today I stood on 2 feet, no crutches or rail or wall. Couldn't walk, but felt so good to just stand. Balancing. Events like these happen in our lives for a reason. They suck. But the compassion and understanding they imbue is enriching. . Growth causes pain. And pain causes growth. For anyone who feels trapped in the physical place they are right now. It can get better. It took me 3 years of being nearly in constant pain. And at the time I considered that time lost. My early twenties, lost to repairing my spinal health. Not many other young people understand. But had that never happened to me. I would have continued on the same mediocre path I was walking. You learn, during these times, that one of the most godly sacred words, is "Persevere"
Amen, Elyas. Keep that attitude up, forever. Don't let it go. I still have to work my ass off to this day to keep walking and minimize the daily pain and discomfort I live in. #Persevere
I know how you feel, had a car accident and only after 8 months now I m learning to stand first then walk i guess. I encourage you to give it all, you are strong and we have a 2nd chance at walking. Lots of love from France
Omg this is incredibly motivating. I've not walked for almost a year and my lower back is so messed up 😣. After watching you persevere and get better, I must do the same. Much love!
I've been in the hospital for 3 months now and I started walking with a walker 3 weeks ago. I just can't wait to walk without it. Thank you for this video.
Hey Kevin, I'm sitting here on my steps exhausted and scared at the same time from all the muscle imbalances from my accident,when I came across this video. I was TBoned in my driver's door by a 87 full size tank (truck) vs my 19 outback. My injuries are not as extensive as yours here.. But the loss of function and struggle is real.. I just wanted to say Love You Man!! Very encouraging to see with PT and determination I will make it. 💪💪💪 Ty for the video. I hope your doing well.
Right on, Jonathan! My early days were super rough with spasms... and still to this day I have muscle imbalance. Keep fighting and working hard.. It's a tough road, but it's worth giving everything you have!
This really motivated me I have injured both my knees while squatting and now I am on bed since 1 month and will be starting my physio from next week Very excited to walk again
I found this by chance but I'm really glad I did because it's amazing to see progress and success like this and it reminded me of when I had to "relearn" how to walk and use my brain again for coordination after a near death traumatic brain injury in 2016. I'm glad to see you've come so far.
20012 I was in the same boat and learning how to walk was an emotional experience. I'm still nowhere neer 100% it's a uphill battle but totally worth it. Good job man!!
Awesome recover bro you my inspiration. same insident happen to me c4 c6 c7 injury level and one year accident after I'm also walking because of I'm not give up
Thanks for the video, it gave me incredible strength, it happened in december 2017, I fell from about 11 meters, then spent 2 months in coma, then cca a month waking up and here I am, sttrugling to speak and walk, besides my right arm has got crushed elbow joint and I am waiting for an operation, I dont know if I have less or more difficult, but my diagnosis is not bright its juicy.
Loved this, fantastic.... the journey is such an inspiration and so motivating. When the desire to succeed is so strong, one will achieve! I'm going to show my kids this :)
You are such an inspiration, my husband just had a SCI a year ago. Fortunately, he is L1 incomplete and has made so much progress. I showed him your video and it was hopeful. If by chance you see this we were curious to know what level was your injury? Also looks to be incomplete.
@@KevinRempel_ Hey man did you get any stem cell injections? I'm walkin with a walker at 3 1/2 months I'm just scared I might not progress write back plz
Its been almost 5 months now since I broke my heel and I still can't walk comfortably...even though my doc said I'd be able to walk last month. It hurts so bad. My ankle is swelled and I don't know why(I didn't break my ankle). He said that its nerve damage, but since I work construction and didn't have insurance, I couldn't pay because I can't work to make money to pay. So I of course can't go back to the doc now. I'm worried something else might be wrong and they didn't catch it. I don't know if the swelling in my ankle is from nerve damage or what. I don't know if the swelling is what's causing the pain. The pain level is cutting it real close to not being able to walk period. I stay off of it on weekends to see if it will help what's wrong. It feels a lot better for a little bit but the pain always comes back. I started back work this week and just work through the pain because I have to. Have you ever heard of swelling lasting 4 going on 5 months?
Hey Richie, I'm sorry this is such a late reply... like, way too late. I wouldn't have had a solid answer regardless, other than going back to see a doctor. I'd need a specialist myself to diagnose that.
@@KevinRempel_ I'm not new but don't lie to people u don't have complete or incomplete you crush you spinal cord is a big difference when you cut you spinal cord
I'm trying to learn to walk again but it seems like the more I try it doesn't work. My legs are so weak and I'm not sure what to do. Any tips you can give me for starting out
I’m going to start my physical therapy for walking again, next month. Similar situation (almost) just probably same height. You’re video made me cry; actively crying as I write this and I thought if we have same injuries and you can do it, then I can too. If you have any tips or advice I would appreciate it so much.
If you see this comment could you explain to me what intense pt is like because I had a tumor in my spine and lost my ability to walk but I feel like I’m not going to be able to walk again :(
@@KevinRempel_ wow. I had a L4-L5 and my chances were only about 1-2 percent. That’s amazing. I am walking again but yours is probably one of the most severe I have heard of a recovery from
Mate I’m learning to walk again after 4 years and everything is getting better and better but after seeing this you’ve gave me more inspiration
