Hi Shibu, I have a concern regarding my weight. I was 86kgs last year when I went to cmc, vellore for my rehab. However, last September, I have gone through liposuction as my body proportion was not right. My hands are so thin when compared to my stomach and lower limbs because of which I m not abke to move my lower limbs with my hands. This hss also limited my shifting positons. Even after liposuction, there was not much difference in my lower limbs . But lot of difference in my stomach.

Adding to this, I have shoulder impingement on my right shoulder for the past year and am going through physiotherapy for the same for the past 3 months....but still I m not relieved of the pain because of which I m not able to shift from bed to wheelchair. I was directed by my doctor and therapist not to wheel the chair too.

Now, I m in a cylce where if inwould reduce the weight of my lower limbs it will be easy for my hands to move them. But till my pain is not reduced I will not be able to do any exercises. I have recently viewed a motorised cycle where we can sit in a chair and do cycling. By doing this, my logic says that the thigh muscles would get enough exer ise thereby reduce the fat, and also my legs would become more flexible. Due to lack of exercises to my lower limbs, oflate they have become more rigid.

So, I request u to suggest me if I could go with this motorised cycle.

I have posed this question to u as u r a therapist. But anyone could give their suggestions from the foundation and help me tackle this situation.

Thank u all

Hi Anjali, thanks for accepting my request. Hope ur brother is doing well now. Today is the 2nd anniversary of my accident and celebrated this day too. I have got the stem cell therapy done immediately after my accident in Pune. As of today I don't see any major change in my situation as u know that it is still in the nascent stage. I m a t8 paraplegic. However, I could feel some sensation till t10 like cold, hot, pain when pinched etc. Actually all these r slowly improving. But cannot tell that these improvements r due to stemcell therapy as I have been getting the physiotherapy done continuously since the beginning.

After I got rehabilitated at CMC Hospital, Vellore, I m now in much better position and am able to do 90% chores on my own. I m trying to cover the rest 10% too.

If u think that I could be of any help to u, u may please contact.

All the very best and have a goog day.
