Hi @Teeniebash
Good Evening it’s great to meet you today.
I’m one of the Community Champion’s here at Scope.
Have you been to see your GP as they would be able to help you.

Hi @Teeniebash - Welcome to this great community. You've received some great advice above, but, if I may, can I ask why you're now using a wheelchair, & if you've had any input from your GP, or a physio? I'm not one of the lovely volunteers here (called a Community Champion), but used to work as a physio a long time ago!

Hi @Teeniebash and a warm welcome to the community. Have you found any of the links provided useful or found any exercises you're able to do?
