Injury Level: C5
Time since injury: 1 – 2 years
Aurimas, a 29-year-old SCI patient from Lithuania, sustained a C5 spinal cord injury following an unfortunate accident. He sought a treatment that could help him and his sister supported his research, finding epidural stimulation treatment through Verita Neuro.
Aurimas decided to undergo epidural stimulation procedure along with extensive physiotherapy. After the procedure, he suffered neck pain, which went away after five weeks. He regained core balance, which enabled him to sit up straight. Along with regaining his balance, his shoulders and hands also felt stronger. Though his muscles were not strong enough to stand or walk, with the help of the stimulation device, he was able to feel movements in his legs.
Aurimas wanted to thank the people of Lithuania who helped him with the fundraising for his treatment as well as his friends and family.
He had this message for other patient’s: “It’s always easy to do nothing and wait for something to happen,” Aurimas added. “I think if you’re unhappy after a serious injury, you should try to do everything for your friends and family who wants to see you get better, and if you have the opportunity, definitely do the treatment.”
“My biggest motivation is my wife and my son alongside my family and friends, because they always believe in me, that I can succeed, that’s why it pushed me forward, and I found ways to get better” Aurimas said.
The staff had also assisted him in the recovery; he felt warmth and friendliness from them that made him more cheerful and gave him a more positive outlook during his treatment.
“After this, we are like friends, and it would be hard to leave them, but I think I am going to come back here again,” he said.
