I find myself not able to run any longer and if i try to walk any long distance i end up in more pain than when i started. I have had my ankle broken in half and my right hip broken and this causes me alot of pain if i try to walk to far or too long. is there any type of exercise equipment i can use to get rid of the weight i gained. please help and SS refused my application for my SSI.

S., or approximately 11,000 new cases each year. Since there have not been any overall incidence studies of SCI in the U.S. since the 1970's it is not known if incidence has changed in recent years. Prevalence: The number of people in the United States who are alive today and who have SCI has been estimated to be between 721 and 906 per million population. This corresponds to between 183,000 and 230,000 persons. Note: Incidence and prevalence statistics are estimates obtained from several studies. These statistics are not derived from the National SCI Database.' Hope that this answers your question. Birgit Dear Miki,
