hi all...i experienced the returning of the extensor hallucus muscle that raises the big toe on my left foot!...this was two days ago...in today's pt session it strengthened a bit (it's a smaller muscle) and there was also some firing of the peroneous muscle which raises the lateral part of the toes/foot!...my therapist was very happy for me as he clearly saw when we started two weeks ago that there was no movement whatsoever...this brought me back to kiev when several hours after the second cell injection i was able to flex my big toe for the first time since february...i'm so grateful for this return...it really gave me a boost as dorsiflexion is important to functional walking by regaining the ability to lift the foot of the advanced leg...i'm working hard in ot as well...the good news there is my shoulder range of motion and strength has increased!...my rotator cuff muscles have developed more tone (reducing the subluxation) and that pain in my left scapula isn't there anymore when i lie flat on my back...i'm more optimistic that more returns are on the way now...stem cells + good old fashioned therapy seem to be working together for me!...i'll keep posting...best to all, richxxx
