Question
i injured  my spinal cord  about 3 years ago. my right leg felt like a sudden lightning bolt from my spine down my right leg, i couldnt walk and i was paralized one week in bed, then it went away.I found out that my lower lumbar the L1 L2, which the discs are swelled. My problem is still to this day i havent fully recovered. My mobility is gone, i lost a lot strength and power in my back, on and off pain daily. I want to get to the way i was before. Any suggestions to get better  

Answer
Dear Michael,

If your paralysis went away, then you didn't injure your spinal cord.  You probably had a pinched nerve, commonly due to the same cause as bulging (swelled) discs -- muscular tension in the muscles of your back.

Please see articles at somatics.com/page4.htm for more explanation and options for recovery.

Your condition sounds a bit more severe than most, so a visit to a practitioner would be your best/easiest option for recovery.  See the practitioner list by clicking PRACTITIONERS in the navigation bar at top of somatics.com pages.
