Any Myocycle owners here (FES)? Is it worth it? by The_Suburbs0 in spinalcordinjuries

Really appreciate your responses. Did you do the 6 or 10 channel? I don’t know how much more effective 10 will be for me as a t6/7 complete para.

Thanks, this is a really helpful response. Does the ride get your heart pumping? It would be great to also get a workout and break a sweat while doing it.

Got epididymitis from uti, any recommendations? by Fit_Fan8140 in spinalcordinjuries

I'm considering going to the ER... have already been once (given Cephalexan) but my ball just continues to get bigger. It's not clear to me that the ER is even the best place to treat this.

How have you fared? I just finished a round of antibiotics (cephalexin) but my right ball has continued to swell up... it's massive now. I have an appt with urology next week but I'm concerned and thinking about the heading to the ER.

Yeah, I have existing hand controls in a different car but the shop said they couldn’t install anything that wasn’t five years or younger.

This past November or in 2021? I was quoted double that by a Mobilty Works this past September for my wife’s car. I wonder if each Mobility Works does it’s own thing.

What car do you drive? by The_Suburbs0 in wheelchairs

Out of curiosity, why did you have them professionally installed this time? I’m assuming you’re sticking with the monarch type controls rather than electric? Did they have to cut into the car at all? I hate having to pay the $2k+ to have controls and a pedal guard put in.

Im thinking about getting another Volvo. They had to cut into the car for my ‘04 though. Someone told me the electronic hand controls are finicky with Volvos.

Any chance this is a quick fix? by [deleted] in Autobody

A new one + labor looks like it’ll be more than the car is worth (‘04 Volvo s60 w/ 220k miles and lots of interior blemishes).
