It's a free country !
Your circulation below lesion is most likely down by 40% or more. All studies on Parastep elect stim (noninvasive) show that circulation returns to almost normal when using Parastep daily. Even 1 hr/day will usually suffice. This will greatly affect pressure soars (decubiti ulcers). Regardless - keep your wheelchair & do sports ! Good luck.
