Scoliosis Support Group

Scoliosis affects all ages. Unlike the naturally occurring curves in the spine, scoliosis causes the spine to curve abnormally to the left or right.

My curved spine is annoying me today.It made me sad, maybe I cant be a doctor.my body just cant get enough energy to do things.my spine gets sooooooooooooooooooooo tired and i cant stand up straight.should i even study if my body cannot be healthy? I always felt God wanted me to be a doctor but I dont know how I can when my body is failing.I feel guilty that I cant study and keep my body going.I think my bad lungs,spine and eating disorder are catching up to me.I will hate if my lungs and heart are starting to fail since I want to be a cardiologist who fights those things,lol.Maybe i just tired. I should ask my doctors what they think, if they think my body could handle school,residency and being a doctor.I just want to fulfill my purpose and not disappoint God.Sorry im just venting.stupid sammy! thats my curves name, i named my rib hump sammy,lol

I know how you feel. I can no longer do my dream job because it was heavy lifting and standing for over 8 hours.

Venting here is very allowable. We are here for advice or to listen when ya need a set of eyes.

Keep on venting. This site is great for that. I know you won't dissappoint God if you are doing your best. Maybe God put that dream into your heart because it will benefit you to educate yourself. Maybe you will be able to keep yourself healthier because of that education. If you aren't up to the whole med school and residency, maybe you can use the interest you have to study on your own. I'm amazed at how much knowledge is out there on the web. Just pray for discernment to know what's true, and what will be helpful to you. Hang in there!

I just had to leave two of my jobs cus i had to accept my limitations and it was hard but never give up on your dreams there is always a way around it. I found that out I want to be a canine trainer or behaviourist and even though im suffering pain at the moment I am determined to get there i still train my dogs. Never give up on your hopes and dreams you can becomje a doctor you may just have to do it part time even if it takes you longer to get there you will in the end. You go for it

Love lots

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
