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.
WENT OUT WITH SCOLIOSIS A FEW YEARS AGO. MY ONLY METHOD OF COPING WAS TO SIT DOWN DOING TASKS. I ALSO FADED AWAY FROM GOING TOO FAR.
WENT TO THE SUPERMARKET AND WAS ON MY FEET AN HOUR. THE PAIN GAVE ME TEARS IN MY EYES. I RESTED AND WENT BACK OUT, DETERMINED TO FIGHT THIS.
THIS IS THE 3RD DAY AND IT IS ONLY TODAY I CAN STAND UP STRAIGHT.THIS IS SO DISCOURAGING, AS YOU ALL KNOW. I WONDER IF PAIN RELEIF WOULD GIVE ME MY LIFE BACK. I WOULD EVEN LIKE TO GO BACK TO WORK TO SAVE THE DAY HERE. WELL???

I had the same problems before my surgery on May 15th. I couldn't stand for more that 5-10 minutes. Walking really hurt. Shopping exhausted me. All that is gone since the surgery. It is a lONG and hard recovery, but a friend of mine had same surgery 8 years ago and is now hiking all over the world and is totally without pain. We both had two surgeries. One from the back and one from the front.

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...
