Presuming you don’t have a pacemaker or defibrillator, it’s unlikely to cause any problems and might serve keep your muscles functioning whilst the spine cord injury recovers.
You could try asking your rehab physician about it (if they visit the unit where you are) or the physios. Otherwise, ask your spine surgeon when you see them next if there has been any research to support it. As suggested already, I suspect it’s made mostly of freshly squeezed limbless reptile juices!

I've had a revitive the past 2 years Ron, it's supposed to help increase blood flow to the leg muscles and decrease leg acheing etc if you have vascular issues. I can't say it's really helped me to be honest but it might be that I lost the patience to sit every day for an hour using it. Only reason I got it was a few years back out of the blue the feet suddenly went numb over a few days. I had tests done as thought I had the onset of diabetes as numb feet and toes is a sympton but was given the all clear. Was then sent to a vascular clinic but that checked out OK as well. I now think it's connected to sciatica I've been getting on and off down both legs the past 3 years so thought I would try the Revitive.
I've found longish daily walks has helped alot and using an exercise bike which has decreased the numbness.
Certainly try it if you're less mobile at the moment as it gives the leg muscles a work out

Ron, have you considered seeing if anyone would drop buy and take you for a blast to relieve the monotony?ronk said:Nanu said:
Or buy on eBay?
That’s my viewing tonight
I'm thinking [ref]B21[/ref] isn't a million miles away. A blast in the yellow peril may not fix your legs but it should give the old sphincter muscles a decent work out.

Happy to assist with bowel movements

Not pretty as you say and make sure they make everything right when they remove it as they are not always good at doing that . The main thing is that you are going home . I know how that feels after being in hospital etc for a long time . All the best . Tony.
