- IM SHOWING YOU WHAT IT COULD FEEL LIKE TO BE PARALYSED. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT, BUT BY TAKING THIS SYMPLE TEST YOU CAN GET SOME IDEA OF WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE PARALYSED**. FEEL FREE TO SHARE SOME OF YOUR SYMPTOMS DOWN BELLOW. ANYA DARLOW'S VIDEO • Video
I wanted to share this video with you as when i saw this test i was amazed and it raises some awareness as to what it could feel like of be paralysed. Every Spinal cord injury is different. So everyone will have different feelings. there is also a big difference between incomplete and complete injuries.
After suffering my spinal cord injury i have really had to adapt in life. So Im sowing you my disability lifestyle to raise disability awareness. as a disabled woman and a woman in a wheelchair who is paralysed, I thought it would be interesting for you to see, and hopefully give you some inspiration and motivation so that you can live more independently. wether you are paraplegic or quadriplegic i hope that i can help you.
i have lots of interesting disability videos, a lot of videos on how to cope with a disability and living life in a wheelchair, wether you are a girl boy woman or man. i have some paraplegic exercise videos, and advice. its important to keep your fitness levels up as much as possible as this can when physically and mentally with depression.

This test is not designed to hurt or be strenuous. Just try it for a second or two to see if you can lift your ring finger. Don't fight your body to do something it can't. If it hurts stop immediately. I take no responsibility for the actions you take during or after this video. I did not "invent" this test. I found it on Instagram and Facebook. If you've enjoyed this video then feel free to buy me a drink to show your support to my channel! ko-fi.com/wheelsnoheels
Wheelsnoheels bom dia minha linda amiga sou brasileiro gostei da sua simpatia e simplicidade você é simples que nem eu gostaria de mantermos contato adoraria pois a bondade amizade lealdade fazem muita diferença neste mundo tão louco nosso gostaria de uma resposta obrigado Jânio Luiz Botucatu sp Brasil
It didn't work
I couldn't lift my ring finger in the first place
I don't have any type of paralysis but I feel this is also a great way for people to get what mental disorders feel like as well. Its (for me at least) that same kind of frustration and helplessness I often feel from my anxiety, depression, and autism. I get told things like "Just be happy". I know how happiness feels, I know what makes me happy but with my depression I usually don't feel happy no matter what. I just feel constantly miserable. "Just suck it up and talk normally in front of class". If Im standing I'm going to be on the ground in seconds. My anxiety causes extreme dizziness and I'm expected to somehow suck it up? "stop crying", "stop shaking", "Just act "normal"" I can't. I just can't. I try, I really do. I'm often telling myself similar things and some days are better than others, but when I can't, then I can't.
Also that dream thing is crazy because it's the same for me and my mental disorders. Like I don't have panic attacks (unless a nightmare but no normal situations cause them in my dreams) or depressive thoughts nor has any situation related to my disorders ever came up either. I still do behaviors related to my autism (like leg twitching and repetition) but thats different.
Thank you for sharing. Yes i think you are right, its a good representation on mental illness. You just can't change it. I know some ppl just don't get it.
And yeah the dream thing fascinates me. Last night I was doing sign language!!! (Cant sign) x
Among my multiple disabilities, I have Depression. I've had IDIOTS tell me: "Just look in the mirror, smile, and tell yourself to be HAPPY!" Makes me want to choke a FOOL!!
I have adhd and I have faked having to bring things to school just to get out of a presentation (i also have anxiety, depression and possibly autism (haven't gotten checked yet but showing signs)
@@patmccoy8758 same
If you can't lift your ring finger without your other fingers (like myself). Try the same method with your middle finger instead to get the effect.
I’ve been a paraplegic just over 40 years now. I was hit from behind while sitting at a red light on my motorcycle. I was 19 at the time.
:)
I am so glad you are alive. I hope you are and continue to be healthy and happy. ❤️
Wow, you just blew my mind about dreaming about being disabled. I often struggle to walk and things in my dreams, but I had those before my disability came about. That "trudge through the mud" feeling. But now, I am almost never disabled in my dreams either. Also! Y'know how sometimes your dreams are influenced by what's happening to your body? (Like, if a kitten is nibbling at your toes, you could dream about alligators chomping at your heels or something?) My feet are CONSTANTLY on fire. I mean, constantly. They even generate heat to the tough. A stranger could feel their heat and would probably even pull back in shock that a person is that hot, lol. But, oddly, I can't think of a single dream I've ever had where my feet are LITERALLY on fire or a dream about fires or heat or something similar, y'know? So interesting.
And also, really thought the test was cool. I don't have paralysis, but I do have a lot of nerve damage and loss of feeling in places. And, that's led to seveeeeere contracture in my toes (they're like...completely curled up in a ball). And people always ask me to straighten them (doctors mainly). I just stare at them like... huh? I could think and think and use my brain all I want to, but those toes aren't going to budge a mm. That's like asking someone who's tied up in rope to raise their arm. Only, they would feel the resistance as they pushed against the rope. I feel nothing. I just stare at them and watch them... not go anywhere. It's, almost identical to the test, and as close to paralysis as I can imagine. I feel pain in them but they CANNOT move. (Even manually though. If I try to pull em apart with my fingers, they only lift upward at the top most joint. The curled up ball stays fully intact.)
I only just found you but really appreciate your videos already! (Sorry for the novel!)
wow thank you for your comment. I know what you mean about your toes. I can't manually push my foot down, or in, its just stuck out. xx
Oh my goodness I hope it gets better ❤️
It's ok I read all and thanks
I am so glad you are alive after your injury. I hope you are and continue to be healthy and happy. ❤️
Best description of impaired sensation I’ve heard is to dress in layers like going out in the cold and feel light touch through 3-4 layers of pants.
I was born with amniotic banding syndrome and have migraines so bad I’m so cognitively disabling I can’t think, speak, walk, or understand language most days of the week yet never have a felt the constant pain in my dreams (unless it’s really bad and I’m mentally aware of how bad im hurting) nor have I ever been missing a hand or toes or have migraines in my dreams that cause all these disabilities that are a big part of my life and how I function day to day
Its very interesting isn't it. xxx
I had my right hand paralyzed for about a year and couldn't really explain it to anyone and this is so similar it brought back memories :c But thank you so much, I can finally show some people 💗💗
Honestly, I DESPISE people who treat people in wheel chairs different.. Were obviously the same. One person is just in a chair, and the other not. People need to grow up like that, don't EVER let ANYONE get you down for that reason.
well said :)
AMEN!! I live with multiple disabilities and have ended up in a wheelchair more than once. I use a cane now because I can't predict when my legs will decide to fold unexpectedly. I know the cane may not prevent my falling and at the same time, I try to make this disability visible so people don't assume I'm a drunk. Very frustrating when confronted with IDIOTS.
Maybe some people just don't understand. It's not like they're a bad person. They just feel morally wrong because they really don't know what to do or how to treat a paralyzed individual. So don't hate them, instead just educate them.
Adam Zaidi, I do agree. I don't think many people are deliberately being nasty or anything like that, and don't deserve to be called idiots. or be despised. I find that very sad indeed and doesn't help. Oh, and I am subscribed to a few RUclipsrs who are paralysed and in wheelchairs, to try and learn more through their lives and information they share.
@@ruthm3813 Yes it seems that people just jump to conclusions as if someone's just being mean or nasty when that is not the case at all. If I see someone in a wheelchair trying to enter a door, I'm going to hold the door open for them but I would be quite upset if they were to think I was doing that because I feel sorry for them or I was being rude or nasty.
Weird. It felt so weird. But thanks for the example.
your welcome. :)
Just finding this video right now because I want to show my family members who think that it’s not so hard being in a wheelchair. And yes I have to say I never dream that I am in my wheelchair I always dream that I am walking like before my accident
i have a the same injury at you and I have always wanted to explain it to others but you do it perfectly so thank you. I also want to get permission to use this video to show my family so they can understand me. I also get lots of pain in my legs as well and in my lower spine due to where it was ripped it miss aligned my disc so I can't put too much pressure on my back which is hard too. thank you I have sub and notify so I can keep up to date. I am in Brisbane Australia.
hey!!! g'day, My husband is Aussie, and i have been over there a lot!! love brissie and the gold cost etc. My husband is from Sydney. I would love for you to share the video with anyone you like. email the link, post it on Facebook, or where ever!!! I think it really helps people understand. :) Lovely to meet you. (I'm freezing her in the uk today!! its -1!!) xxxx
I also never dream being in a wheelchair, sometimes I have this weird dream, where I suddenly remember that I can’t walk and I start looking for it and I get really confused and quite hectic, because I need to find my wheelchair as soon as possible... Did one of you also experienced a dream like this?
I've never experienced that. I have this weird recurring dream that i can't open my eyes!! its really stressful, its almost like they are stinging.
Wheelsnoheels I've sometimes got quite a similar one. I can open my eyes, but then I can't see really well and It makes me kind of crazy. I find it pretty interesting, that everyone I met before, who is in a wheelchair, is walking in their dreams.
Yes I have omg
I have these dreams all the time. I'm 42 and have been paralyzed since 17. But yes I can walk and run in my dreams but always conscious of a wheelchair and need to find it or have it with me.
When I did this test I was very confused because I have felt this before. When I have panic attacks, if they are moderate to severe, I have this feeling throughout my entire body and I never thought that was what people who were physically paralysed felt like. This definently makes me see my body differently and maybe I'll finally talk to my doctor about it, maybe I can figure out the emotional blockage of movement I experience.
ooo thats interesting. Hopefully this video will help you to describe what you are feeling to others. :)
That’s exactly, exactly what my severe neuropathy feels like in my left leg and my right leg is amputated above the knee due to a severe bacteria infection called pasteurella due from a cat kick or scratch? Crazy, same feeling!!! I also dream I can walk!! Never dream I’m in my chair! But it is like my brain knows I should be in the chair, abd I wonder why I’m not? If that’s Mayes sense? But I’m never acuskjy in the chair! Always able to walk! May have something to do with the fact that I only became an amputee about 5 yrs ago!! Your channel is great! I just recently found you!! Thank you for putting this all out there for others to try and understand!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤️❤️
Im so glad it helped you. Its weird about the dream thing too. Feel free to share the video with friends and family to help them understand. XXX
Your strong you are an amazing person and you are the only one who can help me learn paralyzes paralyzes is serious watching you inspires me to come over and watch your vids love you bye!!😛😛😛
Dang it... I wanted to try it out, but there are few that can move their finger (I am one of them). You are such an inspiration!
ah man!!! I had no idea that some people could do it!! how about try the middle finger? Or is that the same? xx
Thank you so much for letting me know that I never knew what it was like and my uncle has a spinal-cord injury your videos are so amazing to tell people who do not have a disability or physical disability and let them know how it feels and what to do and what not to do
The reason why you can't lift your ringer finger is because it shares a tendon with the other digit. You'll notice when you open your hand and try to make your fingers touch your palm, those two will both go down together and not separately.
Great video Gem and a perfect test of what it is like. That is too funny you forgot about spasms as that is a very special annoying part for sure.
One time I got a flu shot in like grade 3 or 4 and when I came back home I couldn’t walk. My legs were literally paralyzed and I couldn’t move them at all. It only lasted for like a week, and then I could walk again. It sounds fake but it was real and weird as hell. I haven’t gotten a flu shot since out of fear it will happen again and be permanent.
I’ve researched it before, and apparently it’s a very rare reaction to flu shots. So at least I know I’m not some weird freak case and that it’s just a rare reaction lmao
blimey! thats a very scary reaction. glad you are ok now though :)
I can't believe how accurate this is! PS. I have an incomplete injury also and the way you describe it is EXACTLY how my body feels as well. My injury level is L1. Oh! And no, I'm never in my chair in my dreams. Not that I'm like, walking...it's more just , not addressed(?) Kinda.
wow what a grate video. Im defo going to bring this out as a party trick at xmas!!! in all seriousness thought. its a grate little video. thank you
Toonie Hub grate english
I technically am paralyzed, I can't move the upper joint in my right pinky. It happened when I was trying to get ice out of an ice tray for my sweet tea, but no pieces were budging. I got a butter knife and cut it along the side of the cube. Everything was fine until the last one (Because I stopped after this one) and it was the hardest to get out. I'm right handed, so I was holding the knife with my right hand which is why it's my right pinky that's paralyzed btw. I tried pushing harder on the knife to see if it'd help, but I'd been picking out ice cubes with my hands after they were loose enough, and some pieces of ice flaked off onto my hands, and then then some stuck to the knife, since I put my hand on it. But ice, being cold water, melts. Having been on my hands and the knife, my hands and the knife were wet. So when I pushed harder my hands slipped and I was holding the knife at just about 90 degrees, so when it slipped it cut right across my lower pinky joint, and a little bit of the left side of my ring finger. I had my pinky in a thick bandage for a couple days, so it was physically impossible to bend it. I immediately starting bending my pinky after, being afraid of paralyzation. I didn't think about moving the uninjured joint, thought it too had been in a thick band aid those days, so I'm guessing the muscles just never grew back properly. I get insults commonly because I stick my pinky out for some things like if im holding something, or when I'm typing on school keyboards, people especially thought it was funny when I was writing or drinking, so I learned how to cross my ring finger over my pinky, manually folding it. Now while this is nowhere near as bad as what's happened to many people it's still an inconvenience for me, and I thought you might like to read. :)
Edit: OH OKAY I HAVE A HEART NOW WOW THANKS
SunFlowerDoggo wow, thats quite an interesting story actually. Quite often, normal everyday things we do can result in injury.
My pinky on my right hand was broken and stuck out at 90 angle which wad quite disconcerting at the time lol. After mending it ended up deformed so the last joint is at a 45 angle. The problem being, when I make a fist it puts considerable pressure on it as the ligaments pull it which create a vice like pain. So writing with a pen or pencil is painful indeed, I can manage a little but then have to have a break for a while.. I've often toyed with the idea of having it therapeutically amputated as it gets in the way lol. It can't be rebroken and set because the joint itself was smashed, so it would otherwise just stick out all the while.
Funny how a little thing such as a finger can cause so much hassle!
This reminds me of when I (a person w/ an invisible disability) got foot drop. I would stare at my foot for hours and try to convince myself that I could lift it. I had to lift that leg really awkwardly high for 1-2 months to walk without tripping.
Hello sweetness Thankyou very much for sharing your feelings with us
I have been paralysed for 3years I live alone no carers or help and its like living with a baby trying to push myself to the most comfortable place which is when I'm asleep 😆 only time it's àway
I have cerebral palsy (non-wheelchair user). I have been watching your videos for a while now. A few points that you have made also have happened with me. One of them is dreams - In fact I had a dream last night - and I was running... Something that I have never been able to do. In the dream I was full on marathon running for some reason. It was really strange.
And as for muscle mass - as someone who can use their legs - I can touch finger to finger around my ankles as well. (I think part of the slimmer legs is connected to CP - I thought I read that somewhere).
I could still lift up my ringfinger. However I know another one of these tricks that I cannot do.
Okay so you put your hands together as if you are praying
Then you fold your middlefingers over eachother, and leave the other fingertips touching
Now try to separate your ringfingers WITHOUT moving any of the other fingers and while keeping your middle fingers down.
Thank you for the information you put out here. It is very interesting to see how you live and what challenges you face that I wouldn't even possibly think could be a challenge because I am not disabled.
OOO thanks for that. I couldn't do that either. xx
I'm just now seeing this video and the symptoms you describe are the same as what I myself feel. But I don't have a spinal cord injury. I have nerve damage in my hip area which keep me from being a to lift my legs or walk. I have been this way for 6 years now, and so far no doctor has been able to figure out why I can't stand or walk. It's weird, but I just keep on living my life like I have for the past 68 years, and just let my wheelchair be my legs.
Great video, thank you. You have great eyes, but the reflection from the window covers it up. (Not meaning to criticize just something I noticed)
aw thank you. I really need to invest in some anti glare glasses next year :)
That’s how I describe my legs to someone I can’t walk up or down steps I do have feeling. I am able to walk with crutches thou but every step is painful
I took the test the hard way…
Got ejected in a roll over accident that ROLLED OVER ME a split second later.
Lights out….
Wake up to learn life all over again, but without walking mostly. Now I fall out of wheeler and it tries to run over me… but it harmless 😂😖
I’m able bodied but ever since I was a little girl in my dream I was always in an wheelchair. Maybe that was my previous life experience 😊
The test is better when you bend only your middle finger, not every one except the ring finger.
Wow you’re very inspiring explaining your condition and the aftermath after your injury I am a partially paralyzed men after receiving a gunshot wound to the head and yes I consider it that weight very hard to lift the side of your body that is paralyzed
T10 complete. Yes, my legs feel like they tingle, but a painfull tingle. Also a feeling like my legs are burning. This does not include the pain in my back near the injury point. Only way to experiance that is to, say, smash your finger continuously. And no, pain meds do not and never will get rid of the constant pain, just takes the sharp edge off, on a good day. As you mentioned, everyone is differant. My legs shrunk very little. So they remain heavy which is a problem itself. Course one who is not paralized should go through our daily care including bowel care. And dressing.
I recently started having to use a wheelchair, and I have a really bad one for now and I actually dreamt that I got a propper one and was finally able to move freely
@Martin S I am probably getting a new one from my healthinsurance within the next few weeks, it isn't clear quite yet if they will pay for it but it is looking good
3:58 I can't remember when I've ever had a dream I could remember.
4:32 My legs tend to swell so badly, they have to be bandaged about every other day.
Please link the video of your fellow Vlogger on her complete injury. Thanks.
Its in the description box now. sorry about that, or its here ruclips.net/video/sTJq3A1OgRM/видео.html :)
Wheelsnoheels Thanks
I've only recently had issues but there is 0 feeling in either of my legs and it's been really hard to explain to others, I think this will help a lot!
I’ve just come across your channel. I’m from England, I’m 63 and I have spina bifida and polio.
I'm a C4-5 incomplete quadriplegic with use of my whole body but I can't walk and I have limited mobility. The way I explain it is like trying to stand up quickly with pins and needles in your legs after you've been sitting in a funny position for too long. That mixed with the feeling or sore feet after standing all day. That's not exactly what it's like for me but it's close
Ok now this was wired but now I see why people go through a struggle every day being paralyzed I’m in prayers for the people how have to go through this ☹️☹️
Didn’t work for me, I could lift my finger when my hand was in a fist. I do kind of understand what it’s like to have a disability. I’m able bodied but have a condition that has given me limitations. Thank you for talking about your disability :)
You are a beautiful soul ❤️
God damn i cant do it! Thats alot like what it feels like!? omg
I have learned about Spsasm. The hospital kind of forgot to tell me about them. I don't dream much never did, but now I have a dream where I am back in the jungle running for my life. My legs feel like they are asleep But the funny thing is I used to wear knee braces. I can still feel them on my knees. when they are not, I don't wear them now.
Sounds like how lidocaine feels at the dentist- like when it’s almost 100% working, but you can feel pressure and it feels puffy? Kind of tingly?
Me personally I hate living like this every second every moment anybody in a chair Lying if they say they don’t feel the same
Sophia Jones June 20 made 5 years
I have no feeling from my belly button down... No movement or no feeling. I sometimes walk in my dreams and I can feel Carpet and hardwood floor in my dream. Its usually the anniversary of me becoming paralyzed. I was 7. I do ask people what does Carpet on your feet feel like or sand. People say put your hand on the carpet or sand. I know it's not the same as feeling it on your feet.
4 years on, still dream without the chair.
In reality, I weigh 80 lbs (36 kg), and can barely lift a jug of milk. But I often have dreams of being attacked, and my method of self defense is to grab the attacker(s) and toss away as if they were nothin'!
thats interesting :)
I had a spinal tumor for a year and was paralyzed the whole time.
My injury is similar to yours, plus one odd thing--if I rub my thighs the soles of my feet tingle!
Oh wow, I am not paralysed but it feels so weird
I am paralyzed and that is exactly how I feel all the time.
thank you for sharing :)
Wheelsnoheels no problem.
stay gold stay strong love yr att about it i to try help to show people they dont have it hard
Despite the fact I was born disabled Gemma In my dreams I am never disabled.
Great video! You talked about sensation, but do you have any movement in your legs?
thank you. Yes i do have movement. they are weak, but i do have movement, in certain muscles. :)
Look at your arm or leg, say in your head “Move my leg/arm” and not move it
I have a below the knee amputation of my right leg and acute neuropathy in my left and then almost all of my dreams I can still run I've had very few dreams where I was actually in my wheelchair, although I am happy to be alive it is sometimes disappointing to wake up to the reality
I do dream about my disability much of the time.
Jokes on you i have extreamly flexible finger joints therefore i was able to lift my ring finger lol. Cool test though
So I tried this (my mother broke her neck a few years ago, thankfully she recovered after multiple surgeries. Only spent almost 3 years with difficulty with the left side of her body. So from that standpoint she was lucky but I always wondered what it's like.) Anyways (rambling aside) I tried this, and my finger felt extremely heavy. Like the muscles were trying, and if I tried super, super hard I could lift it maybe a centimeter or so. I remember my mother said she felt pins and needles, and she still feels burning in her legs to this day. But when it comes to your leg or foot specifically, I'm curious
If you try to lift your foot with your ankle, does it feel like the muscles are trying but it's just too heavy? Or do the muscles do literally nothing at all no matter how hard you try to lift your foot up? (Almost like someone would lift their foot to tap on the floor). I recently watched a video where someone was a quadriplegic, however with enough physical therapy they were able to overcome it. Does it feel like it's something you could eventually overcome? Or are you sure as shit there's no chance?
It's one of those things to me, much like drugs. You can try to explain how it feels, but until you actually experience it first hand you have no idea how it feels. So i'm just trying to get a general idea.
So i guess, to sum it up, if you attempt to lift your foot with your ankle, or even move your entire lower leg with your knee, how does it feel? Are you even able to lift it just a half an inch or not at all? And how does it differentiate between trying to move your ankle, and trying to move your entire lower leg below the knee, or is it the exact same feeling/sensation, no matter if it's your ankle, or your lower leg, or is it two completely different sensations? How was it before you lost the muscle mass in your legs due to being paralyzed? Was it easier/harder then, versus now? Or the exact same?
The test you provided made me assume the limbs feel extremely heavy, like you don't have the muscle available to lift it up. So, I was curious and wanted to clarify. Which also makes me wonder, if it does feel like heavy limbs, would it be easier before the muscle wasting away took place? Or make no difference?
I'm sure it's case by case basis, however the general concept of paralysis still remains the same. So, just figured I'd throw some of my questions your way.
I sorta know what it’s like. I’m in a wheelchair my legs don’t work I feel severe pain in my back and legs. I’m hoping I can have a surgery that will help me walk again.
It’s hard to explain when I say my legs don’t work I’m say not normal. I’m sure you know sorta know what I mean.
Yeah I sure do. I broke my ankle a few years ago. I lived with it for about a month lol as i just could quite feel it properly, and could explain it. its so odd. xx
I get sleep paralysis for long periods of time after I wake up and I wish I didn't know what it felt like to be paralyzed
Omg it's just a feeling, just a feeling 😶
Thank you
I could lift my finger but with great effort and it strained my muscles and now my fore arm Burns.
This is super off topic so I'm sorry, but why the zoom-ins randomly throughout the video?
When I curled up my fist, I could still lift my ring finger???
really? did you curl it nice and tight?
Same
is your fist on a flat surface like i show in the video?
Wheelsnoheels this is the same test my piano teacher used to see if you had the connected ligament to your ring finger. Some people don't have it so they are able to move their finger.
I'm able to move mine too, very easily, I suspect in my case it may have to do with hypermobility
WOW.....I never knew about that test.....You're right.....I couldn't life my ring finger !
Reminds me of an episode on a 1970's show " All In the Family " where Gloria does this trick with a dinning room table chair...and what she is showing Archie & Michael is something that "ONLY" women can do!
Here's the episode if those of you are interested in watching it.
ruclips.net/video/oXxrfqY0kA0/видео.html
The test didn't work for me and I tried all my other fingers too and I can move all of them. I didn't really need the test though since I get sleep paralysis sometimes which is always a super terrifying and unpleasant experience.
I have heard that some popped can do it. ( I didn't know this at the time of filming though) I think I have had sleep paralysis when waking up. Scary though. x
i kind of know what its like to be paralyzed i shattered my elbow a few years ago and basically my arm was dead weight for several months i could barely even wiggle my fingers at first it took a year and half of physical therapy to get my arm functional again. andyeah that eletric shock sensation is very weird feeling i was told its nerve damage
4 thumbs down!!!!
What monster would put a thumbs down???!!!!!
I cannot even wiggle my ring finger
My damage is at L5 level and sometimes I feel my left leg on fire, very painful but nothing is happening to my leg in real
I fell down stairs and pushed the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae together and i have i now cant jump on my trampoline ( im a kid) without some level of pain, and i lose feeling or have severe pins and needles in my legs but i still have full use of my legs i just have muscle inflammation sometimes and back pain (happend 8 and a half months ago) 2 months of chiropractor and 2 urgent care visits and not really anything fixed pain wise.
I can't make a fist! Lol
I tell people when they ask that it feels like when your foot falls asleep mixed with pins and needles. So I totally get what you mean. I’m paralyzed from a car crash. But it’s so weird right? It feels to me like I feel my body because I remember what it feels like but then I have the nerve pain. In some spots it feels as though I have 10,000 socks on lol
Yeah thats a good explanation. Kinda feels "thick" do you know what i mean?
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard I know exactly what you mean! It’s the strangest thing ever! I always thought that paralyzed people or those with paralysis just didn’t feel anything like idk that it just stopped, until I experienced it!
I am doing a short film where I am a girl who plays being paralyzed so hopefully this helps character
Hi Wheelsnoheels! U mentioned that u talked to a lot of paralyzed people about their dreams & when they dreamed they usual dreamed they were able-bodied. I wonder if there would be a difference in the dreams of people who were born paralyzed versus those who had some sort of injury or illness that made walking difficult / impossible but had been "able-bodied" before.
hmmmm interesting. I don't think the people that i spoke to were born disabled as its a Facebook page of spinal cord injuries. But i would like to know.
I have partial paralysis on my right side - I can still use it somewhat - and have been disabled my whole life. A lot of my dreams I am able bodied. Not all but most. I do use a walker though so it may be different because I can walk.
Can confirm! I was born with spina bifida, and even in dreams I have no freaking clue what walking feels like. 😂 I used to think I either crawled or swam through the air whenever I dreamed (I rarely remember details when I wake) but then I had one where I went up a hill and my arms/shoulders got tired, so I guess I must have been in my ‘chair. 🤷♀️
I can do every finger
I’ve been on crutches and it sucks!
Woahhhhh
lol ya feel u i know how it is im level t4 my self para lol alot of work
Bom dia querida

It's weird I couldn't move it with my dominant hand but when I tried with my other hand I could move it
At first when I tried it the test didn't work for me then I tried again and wow

I don’t dream I’m disabled either
I don't know what I would do if I got paralyzed that hurt
