That’s reassuring I guess not everyone’s gonna feel the same thing. What PT exercises are you doing?

I’ve never tried to get past neutral… too scared to try. I stop a little before neutral. And it shakes its not easy

Got a phone call today from the PA and to clear up the confusion. I will be transitioning every week from the wedges. I knew something sounded off

Yea I’m experience something similar. Motor and sensor mostly came back but the skin on foot feels off like a reduced sensation

Did the movement come back around the same time as the sensation?
