Walking with braces and crutches outside (Wheelchair user) (Paraplegic)

This is my hip hop look. :-p

(The reason I stop once in a while is because the right hip lock on my braces undoes itself once in a while, so I have to redo it.)

will you ever be able to get surgery to fix it? u r amazing but i just feel bad for you :( please respond

@cream981 As far as I know, there is no type of surgery that would fix the issue at this point.

you walk very well considering what you have to use - i was wondering if you had polio? I had polio 50 years ago and have always had to wear braces from the chest down ever since - but I was never as good at walking as you are - well done!

@susancish Hi and thanks for the comment. =) I do not have polio nor did I ever have it. I used a wheelchair and braces/crutches because of a spinal cord injury.

Have a good one!

Haha, you're going fast as hell on the crutches. Just a question, do you enjoy your crutches? Like do you feel as if you have increased mobility? I know they can be a pain, I'm not disabled, but have been on crutches the last four months from multiple tibia breaks. Thanks for reading :)

@niggaplease1219 Hoooo, boy. No. I don't really enjoy being in/using my braces. They are a pain in the butt.  However, I realize that they are helpful in terms of maintaining a health body, so that is why I still use them.

Well done you even more! I know walking with SCI injury is even harder than with polio!
