"At first they wanted to amputate my lower leg. Then they said I would never walk again. Now the nerve has completely regrown. I have full feeling. The pain alleviation alone was amazing. The pain was indescribable. I was on morphine for almost two and one half weeks with little effect. When the sound was put on there was an instantaneous relief of the pain.

One of the problems that have been left over is my inability to move my big toe. At the time when she put the sound on I was trying to flex the damaged muscle. When the sound came on, the toe jumped up. When she turned the sound off, the toe fell back down.

It is hard to describe what its like trying to move a muscle when your mind can't control it yet when you hear the sound, the muscle responds. It's very frustrating. They talk about people having to learn to walk again. It is a matter of training yourself to fire the correct nerve to the correct muscle. Even when you know you are doing it, you can feel yourself doing it, and you know you're firing the right nerve to make it happen and nothing happens, it is very frustrating. And then the sound comes on and finally found the right pathway until she shut the sound off and the muscle just went "pblpbl" and wouldn't respond. Then she turned it on again and the muscle would respond. I wanted to move the muscle, I was trying to move the muscle, I just couldn't without the sound. Now that I have had the sound for a while, the muscle has relearned what it was supposed to do and I have more control on my own now."
