Low Back Pain and PPS
Original Post: I was paralyzed from the waist down. Although I'm weaker all over now, my lower back is the most affected by PPS. Just a very few minutes of bending makes my lower back scream with pain, so that I have to whimper limp to couch or bed to ease it. I'm wondering just exactly what is happening to cause this pain? I know I've lost the motor neurons that make the muscles work, but is the pain coming from the last surviving neurons? I realize that I don't really understand how pain works.
Dr. Bruno’s Response: Don’t just assume everything is ‘just” from muscle weakness. Always have significant / long term pain evaluated.
Remember: Never assume that all symptoms are PPS.
