Swollen ankles and feet = not a lot of choices for shoes and cankles are just ugly.

I haven’t had an orgasm in 17 years, of course I’m cranky and bitter!

Bowel accidents are the worst. That and so many other things have led to more embarrassing, disgusting memories than I care to think about.

Ignorant, annoying, rude people can make life even more hellish on top of it.

And the fact that no two SCIs are alike isn’t helpful at all… really hard to compare notes, figure some things out.

I’m surprised all the time that I’m not more angry and miserable to be around than I am. Having an SCI has robbed me of so much in life. FMySCI!!!

My live-in boyfriend breaking up with me ecause he feels “trapped!” I yelled at him that he has no idea what trapped is. Try being in bed and not even being able to sit up on your elbows nevermind getting yourself out of bed to, God forbid, escape a fire! Or… not being able to feel or move 80% of your body. Try that kind of trapped on for size!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FMySCI.

Intractable chronic pain in my back and below my waist, but can’t really feel anything in my right leg or foot.

But my right foot is burning and feels like it is being shredded while numb!

Sliced it open once, didn’t know til I slipped and fell in the pool of blood.

FMySCI.

I’m broken. I don’t work right anymore. The relationship with my spouse is not certain. Physically non-existant, we don’t even kiss anymore, I fully expect him to move on some day. If it comes to that, I’ll let him go.

Pain…..I can stub my toe and not feel a thing, yet the same foot will keep me up all night in burning pain.

B&B, I can’t say enough about knowing where all the restrooms are!

Every day normal things, they’re not easy any more! I’m sick of having to allow an hour, or more, just for a quick shower and getting dressed! And shoes, who in the hell can wear shoes!

There’s more, but I guess I’ve vented enough for now. FMySCI.

The hardest part of my C4-C7 SCI is my numb body and spasms. FMySCI.

The pain! I am SO tired of my ass hurting ALL the time! Burning, tingling, aching – but can’t feel it when touched – it’s exahausting! Feels like I’ve run a marathon by the end of 5-6 hrs! WHY? FMySCI!

I never thought I’d be wearing diapers at 21. I hate not knowing if I have to poop or just fart! FMySCI.

Of all the things I can feel, I can feel my arthritic hip and sore back. This sucks, nothing but burning below my waist, an extremely painful hip and and extremely sore back from being on bed rest for six months now because of a stupid sore which keeps going from getting better to getting worse. This pain is really pushing me to the edge, especially when it’s d*** near impossible to get a comfortable position. To top all that off, the only friends I have are the people I paid to come in and help me out. Just about nine years of being hurt and I haven’t accomplished anything. I feel like the biggest loser. FMySCI.
