![HOW I BECAME PARALYZED FROM THE NECK DOWN [CC]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wLNeLvO-AAY/mqdefault.jpg)
I pray 1 day soon that all Spinal Cord Injuries Can Be Fixed Right Away And That Those Disabled From This Can Also Be Cured ❤
Amen!❤
I feel like it’s possible
Yes 💯
Never give up. I am 3 months out of spinal cord surgery. I was told i may never walk again after surgery but i am walking almost normally at this time. Still in physical therapy trying to get better.. progress has been great.. dont give up !!you can get better
which type of injury you had complete or incomplete and which side of spine?
9/30/23 -9:24am I am also recovering from a spinal injury and surgery. It's been 8 months now, no longer in a wheelchair, but definitely need a walker still. I'm pushing hard. I'm spot inspired by your story. you give me hope to not give up! Thank you so much.
@bobbiehascup6165 can I have your contact pls 🙏 !
So amazing . Randomly came upon this video . I was one of your nurses in the icu. Absolutely incredible and such a joy to see. Wishing you continued health and joy
Thank your for your service Emily !!!
This is so inspiring! Im recovering from a serious spinal injury and this was really helpful. Been told I’ll never recover as well but after 6 months are effort just yesterday my neck snapped around and my nervous system fire back up like a beast! Never give up!
Wow, this is so great to hear as someone very close to me had a spinal cord injury 4 months ago. I hope you are continuing to make a good recovery.
@@smidgekat5296 hey 1 month later I am making what looks like a miraculous recovery from the severe movement disorder I got from the wreck! Be sure and pass along hope to your friend.
Mindset makes all the difference. They will likely have damage to their nervous system which doctors will say isn’t reversible. They are only half right. The body can learn to communicate with the fried nerves, take away their control, rebuild new paths and then forget the damaged ones!
@@macintoshimann9892 - this is so good to hear!!! He has a fantastic mindset and is very determined so I hope he makes the kind of recovery that you are doing. It's wonderful how your body is remembering. So pleased for you 🙂
@@smidgekat5296 I am praying for him to find the same healing that’s giving me my life back! People that don’t take no for an answer have every reason to have hope God bless you both
@@macintoshimann9892 Thank you so much - I pray for you too - long may your recovery continue. I have gone from zero knowledge about SCI to having learned so much in just 4 months. It's a whole new world with some incredibly inspiring people - sounds like you are one of them 🙂
I broke my sacrum in 5 pieces and both legs. I couldn’t walk and still can’t feel a good part of my right leg. I now ride horses at the highest competitive level, but I was lucky. I put a lot of effort during many years to recover but much in our every individual case is luck. Some people are completely and permanently paralyzed by a difference of 1 inch or 2 in how they hit and no amount of person effort will ever make them ski or walk or anything. So I wouldn’t do a title like “From paralyzed to Grand Prix Dressage in N years” because I’d feel I could offend those less lucky. But that’s just me.
I admire your determination and seeing your recovery makes me very happy.
Recovering from broken spine, 5 months in. The mental side of it is absolutely everything. If I could physically will it away it would be easy no matter what I had to do. Its accepting the limitations I have right now and knowing I will get better that is the hard part. Staying positive every day is a massive task in itself. Just gotta keep my head up and do what I have to do. This doesn't have to be a bad thing. It can be an opportunity that a lot of positivity can come from, I just need to perceive it the right way. Thanks for the vid.
Here in 2024. Heck yea!! Glad to see this man is running 🏃♂️
This is so inspiring I have a C4 incomplete spinal cord injury four and a half years out from injury. I was told I would only have one percent chance to ever walking again, but just a few months ago I started being able to walk with supported assistance. My biggest advice would be never give up believe in yourself and most importantly have faith in the man above ❤️ when you have faith, anything is possible
Recovery after 6 weeks of spinal cord injury!It's really a miracle! God bless u
How are you now hope you're doing well ❤️🩹
Amazing! A snowboarder crashed into me and crushed my tibial 2 years ago. I spent half a year on wheelchair but your story gave me hope that one day I can ski again. Thank you.
How is your leg now ?
@@brutallyhonestguy5985 Thanks for asking, still doing training with the help of Physio. I have resumed all normal activities except I am still not confident if I can ski as my injured leg although is stronger, the muscle is still visually smaller compare to the other leg. Surgical damage on the soft tissue and range is still bothering me. Getting there but slowly.
@@victorli4316 My knee cartilage is fked . Doctors say can't do anything
@@brutallyhonestguy5985 sorry to hear that. I had knee cartilage damage before from marathon. Guess I was lucky to stop early enough. It still took more than 5 years of rest to recover.
6 weeks? I was absolutely shocked to see how far he came after just 6 freakin weeks?!?! His dads sentiments I echoed exactly when I saw 6 weeks I would’ve been impressed if that was his progress after 6 months or realistically even 6 years that would be amazing to me if I was in his situation. Regaining any abilities would be an absolute blessing especially walking and the sport I love.
Ok fuck I got hella emotional when he was running and told the girl running beside him he was a quadriplegic. I feel like I would’ve stopped dead in my tracks if I was her
I thought the same thing when I heard, "6 weeks"! 🤣
He was super lucky but he also had an amazing surgeon and has amazing support and love from his family
What a wonderful story of determination, family support and sheer hard work...WELL DONE Mike!
This really helped. 2 months ago I injured meniscus playing golf, not taking care of it and other bad practices turned my injury into Septic arthritis to the point I was hospitalized for 8 days and had 3 knee cleanses. I am now 5 weeks out of the hospital and continuing treatment at home. It’s been hard and I don’t know when I’ll be able to golf again, I’m scared of the thought of not being able to golf ever again. You just made me realize I gotta fight and be a man. God bless
2 and a half months ago I suffered a C5 burst and a C4 C6 Fusion I am so inspired by this video and Mike Shaw I am struggling so hard right now with everything everything is a battle my left hand still can't clit but I can make a fist with my right and I can walk very slowly and very carefully I know it's a long road ahead. 6 weeks in the hospital and I walked out.. I'm home now and cant afford therapy.. its been hard.. but seeing this inspirational story is a complete and total motivation for me I know that I have it in my mind I will run again work out again and get back to a normal way of life but I know it'll take a while watching this video lets me know that all my hard work and struggling isn't for nothing and I would love to get more information on the research center that he was running for in the video thanks Mike Shaw for making this video
you hang in there you not alone buddy
Would love to hear about your progress. Keep us posted buddy!
What a miracle recovery. God bless you
That recovery is unreal
Hi Mike and everyone, if you get to read this October 2022; I am inspired. Currently I am trying to keep strong. I had a car accident 2 years ago and it had rendered me almost quadriplegic and unfortunately there is no help in this part of the world but I am still alive. Please can any foundation or organization help? I want to tell my story like Mike too one day. I am preserved for a purpose 🙏
Stay strong brother
I can’t imagine what you go tru daily
Keep pushing and god bless you.
What about incomplete patients
Wow amazing recovery BUT dude take it easy! You don’t want to undo all your hard work 😢
It’s truly scary how easily a spine can brake .. Mike was just doing what he loved one minute.. then the next his spine is broken 😮😮😮 your incredible Mike 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Absolutely Incredible!! Someone very dear to me has recently suffered a spinal cord injury. I can only hope. Well done you.x
"why are you running today?"
"I'm a quadriplegic"
This gave me goosebumps
Wow! So inspirational! Saw this by accident! I pray he heals 100%!
Mike is amazing! His spirit wouldn’t let him be a victim. You go Mike!!😊
No; Repeat the Sport...? Should put him in jail3 years to learn...hahahh BJCASHCOW22KPM
Seeing mike run for the first time brought tears of sheer joy to my eyes! Good on you brother! I know you believe its luck but it takes a strong mind, support and sheer willpower and determination to achieve what you have! Much love man ❤❤❤
You are A True Walking Miracle!!!
Awesome spirit. We need more like that in today's world.
This story gives me faith that I'll be skiing again next year after breaking a small bone in my neck. Luckily, not permanent damage, but it tooks a few weeks for the strength and feeling to come back to my right arm. Feeling nothing in my limp arm while I cartwheeled down the mountain is a scarey experience.
What a miracle! They should make a movie about him!
One of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Can’t is not apart of our vocabulary love you!🤟🏼
These surgeons are true heroes.
Remarkable, Supernatural , I’m totally awed by not just your recovery but how you maintained an incredible state of mind of “I can do this.” I will remember you and so will many, many others.
Damn , this hits home... thank God for your incredible surgeon!
What an inspiration, I hope u keep feeling strong
Pure miracle! I can't believe you're walking!!
😲 Wow! What a story! Thank you for sharing ☺️
Incredible ❤️ God bless him!
Inspirational! These are the true heroes in our life time, thanks for sharing your journey Mike. You show us that with spirit and hard work you can get your life back 💪 Keep shining Mike, you are a true life SUPER HERO 💪
It took me 4 months to recover from a rather severe herniated disk. Hurt like hell almost to the point i was feeling my legs go numb because it was pressing on both sciatic nerves. This man is an absolute beast to overcome such an injury so fast!
How are u now bro did u have surgery I am in pain pls reply
@@sandipgupta8852 Found a good chiropractor that saved me from surgery. I am pain free now, but he told me to change my lifestyle and get some exercise so I won't have problems later on.
How are you now hope you're doing well ❤️🩹
Way to go dude!!!
Just came across this now. You are truly an inspiration.
What a cool dude. Respect buddy.
So amazing!!
Wow, that's AWESOME 👍🏼
Amazing story. I am also a spinal cord injury fr.d philippines with d same level as yours incomplete C4 C5 due to vehicular accident 23 years ago. Unfortunately im still wheelchair bound bedridden bec. Back then my surgery doesnt involve titanium plate to be used. Wish back then there is a procedure like what they did to u
i been limping for a year cause of a sport injury,i cant dh biking for now i can barely walk for a hour. ...im getting better your video really help me.
Amazing!!
I need this. I brocke my bsck skiing just about 4 weeks ago... The pain is killing me. I need to work harder!
Just a comment on visualization and healing. I believe it works, certainly visualization to aquire skill is proven, but I think it is effective with healing as well.
I broke my ankle snowboarding and was back out in 4 weeks, tentatively but did it.
I would visualize the bones knitting back together, meditate on the actual site of injury, etc...
I know this injury is far and away from mine, but I think it's worth time to see your healing in your minds eye
Blessed.
It's amazing 👍👍
Congratulations👏👏👏👏
Winner boy ❤
❤❤❤❤❤ Mike😊
Just do it and he just did it.
Wow what a miracle and such an inspiration you are! Thank you for sharing your story. 🤍🫶🏽
wow!
God Bless you ❤🙏
Thank goodness you didn't sever your spinal cord. Keep skiing mate ❤.
❤️
💪🏻
I go to st josph this is cool mike
Good luck 🍀 dear 🤞
God give you 2nd life . Be thankful and kind.
Why just him and not millions of other people? I’m not denying God’s existence, just a question. Why do you think?
The doctors*
epic! absolutely
I have the same fusing!!! It is so painful..it still gets hung if I move it the right way..
God be praised.
incredibly inspiring, wow !
You are a giant...
Good additude

Quadriplegia can happen to anybody at any time (very grim). Let's be careful out there. Cheers!
This video is why I never ski down big hills!
hey mike its caroline and brad brain clark here nice to see your story buddy
1:59 as soon as i saw that i knew it was silverstar. I went there in 2023.
You were blessed to get back to walking, you should think twice about skiing if your injured again you may never walk again
SUPERMAN
I'm happy for him ,but very ,very sad because in this whole video nobody of his family or the injured boy said. Thank u Lord I made it, maybe he thinks he's capable of everything. Just willing it, but the only one that really heals u is the good Lord Jesus Crist. Maybe the next time he won't be so lucky,...never forget God!!!!! With all respect. God bless u boy.
Any update in 2022?
These big air tricks are not worth it. There's no room for error.
My uncle suffered severe sci with complete injury
Doctor told 0% chance for walking
No sense till after one month
Can he recover😢
What an amazing man. Handsome man and, seems like a very nice guy. I imagine he would have a lady by now.
Would’nt it be better to avoid skiing now he has received a second chance?
Hii bro .. do you have foot drop?
What was the injury? C3 or C4?
You'll never learn.. You're not a cat with 9 lives
Anyone getting weird nausea feeling and weak sensation in legs but no pain any suggestions
Go to physio, probably not too serious. Google pigeon pose, this is a stretch that should make you more mobile and increase the blood flow in the needed areas to prevent this strange feeling for you. Not a doctor btw.
I am a dancer I got injury in my spine while dancing and from 1 month I am in bed want to do sucide but can't I don't know I will dance or not by seeing your video I have some hope 😭😭
nerves want movement, depends on the damage and surgery, just do, do
How come Mike can walk so well after a spinal cord injury but most people who brake their neck or back are in a wheelchair for life? ♿ What made Mike's recovery so miraculous? His immediate neck surgery? The steel plates placed in his neck during the surgery? 🤷♂️
Same to me and I'm now just 17 years old i have so many fucking dream but i Don't have fucking money for my surgery and now I'm just waiting for my death in last 8 years
Yeh lucky guy, not everyone have such luck after injury to return :/
Where is mike today !!?
2nd
how could you sking and get risk again, if i sky and get injury i never will ski again
so the spinal cord was crushed and not broken, right ?
Saint Anthony's hospital no coincidence as Saint Anthony of Padua is The Father of Miracles through his Intercession we Praise You JESUS CHRIST we THANK YOU
🙏✝️🛐🙏🌹✨🕊️❤️
Someone I know has suffered a lot of c4 neck injury it's not completely severed and he be going yo therapy after 2 months hospitalized but will he be able to walk again and what was the injury of Mike here?
Hey mike can i have ur contact pls? I am c5 injury petiant
Same here! Can I have your contact? I have some questions please 🙏
@Didar007 can I have ut contact pls!
Why the hell would you risk everything skiing again? I mean does he wanna die for sure? Well, dying is not that frightening. Did he try to get paralyzed absolutely? Does the life teach those ppl something? If you want to just keep the ability to move and walk you should stop doing dangerious sports, isn`t that obvious? If you even did this to start with
