I noticed that you weren't using your AFO's as heavily a while back. was wondering whether there had been an issue with them. good video Jack. hope you're OK.

[@JackInAction]

james smith the hinge section would sometimes pinch my skin. In the summer I like to have my legs out, too! 👍🏼 I’m doing well! Thank you! How are you?

[@jamessmith1269]

@@JackInAction yeah, that's fair enough. summers can be kind of a toss-up between not having enough protection and having skin problems everywhere, or having too much on and getting heatstroke. been there, done that. between the pinching and the sticky heat of summer, you're probably better off without having to deal with it as much. at the moment I'm waiting for one of my knees to heal, because I had what's called a Focal Motor Seizure, collapsed to the floor, and smashed my leg on a cat pole on the way down. cat pole's completely trashed and I'm covered in bruises. the cat was less than pleased. apart from that I'm fine. just got a hurt knee and a very pissed off Tabby Cat. (and now this comment will probably come out twice. stupid KZbin) glad to hear that you're OK.

[@JackInAction]

@@jamessmith1269 Ouch! Hopefully the healing process goes well for you and your cat doesn't bite the hand that feeds them :) Yeah, i sometimes reply or comment twice for some reason.

Fantastic video thankyou I never thought about trying to sort my nails while in my chair my issue is spasms everytime some touches my feet or toes it's awful

[@breakingbird2523]

And I love your videos

[@PARALIFE]

Do you wear normal sized shoes or do you go a size up?

[@JackInAction]

Great question! I Typically wear my standard shoe size, but I have one pair that is slightly larger. What do you typically do?

[@PARALIFE]

@@JackInAction been wearing a size up since rehab when they recommended it but it's a bit annoying as it makes my already big feet like clown feet and they sometimes fall off so I've been thinking about going back to my normal size again. It's good to hear that your standard size works for you!

[@paullaw6988]

@@JackInAction Hi Jack, how are you doing? Which normal shoes size do your wear or does your shoes size go up? Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.

[@WhozOnfirst]

Can you feel your feet? Does it hurt if you stub or hit your toe or drop something on your foot?

[@JackInAction]

I can somewhat feel them. I have an incomplete injury, but the sensation is minor. The pain I feel is a combination of the item dropped on my foot with neuropathy.

[@paullaw6988]

@@JackInAction Hi Jack, how are you doing? Your feet looks great. You exercise a lot. Take care of your feet!!! Stay healthy, stay positive, stay strong. Can you feel you feet? Does your feet hurt if you stub, hit your toe or drop something on your foot? Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.

Do you use any kind of cream

[@gffarg1263]

Why is your leg shaking at 6:10? Please explain a pressure sore.

[@piequals314]

Pressure sores are when your skin is injured due to prolonged pressure on that area, because the pressure prevents blood flow to the tissues. His leg is shaking because he's having a spasm. Spasms are involuntary movements caused by the mixed-up signals your brain is getting and giving. He made a video on them a while back.

[@ConnyNordlicht]

My mother had a bad infury when she was 4 years young. Her leg was badly broken and toes, whole foot was turned around that it "looked" backwart! She had surgery but she couldn't feel anything from then on. bUT: When she was 41 her feeling changed! She began to feel a bit at her little toe! It went more and after 3 months she finally felt her whole leg! Only a little part outside she couldn't! Her foot is light feeling, just a bit, but it came after about 40 years! Now l hope cause your toe was moving that you'll be lwcky, too!

[@gffarg1263]

May I ask somewhat of a personal question?

[@breakingbird2523]

Have a nice day

[@dlbrittain1976]

VERY good presentation jackson :)

[@RYAN661992]

How often do you spasm? Does touch set theM Off

[@JackInAction]

If I lift them up and set them down they might spasms. If it’s cold out, I’m nervous, bumpy area, these can all cause spasms

[@JackInAction]

Or if something is wrong with my body I might spasm too

[@benjaminellis7568]

How do you prevent your toes from getting bent?

[@JackInAction]

Perhaps stretching them! Mine are sorta bent now and I use these toe gel supports. My cause for spasms could also be my toes curling under my feet so these supports work well

[@doloressolis3080]

Is it complete or incomplete?

[@lari6785]

Do you always wear shoes? Maybe without shoes it is easier
