Hi Traci, I'm Ken. I was 52 whn I had my spinl avm. You can read my story in the forums.
I was fortunate enough to have this thing caught before I was completly parylized but I have not recovered at all.
I can still walk but I am about 20% of what I used to be and I am in pain 24/7. The dr's told me that if I was to recover it would one to two years and now it has been 1 1/2 years. To be honest, I have never heard of anyone fully recovering.
I have learned to deal with what I have. I live through the pain that has become part of my life. I try to keep a positive attitude and that helps.
I wish your son all the best and I will pray for a full recovery for him.
Ken
