Scoliosis surgery personal stories Videos

hi i had scheermans kyphosis . on oct 15 i had to get the surgery. i had a hunched back and my spine was at 76 degrees they said it was so close to being unfixable. so i had to get 2 rods, and 17 screws going threw my spine. i had to stay in the hospital for 10 days and i was laid in bed for 3 to 4 months when i got out of the hospital. idk about you but this surgery was very very painful and took alot longer to recover than scoliosis. i couldnt been for 6 months i needed help up and going to bed i needed to get a toilet seat thing that raises because my legs were so soar i couldnt bend them. im gonna tell you when the weather changes your gonna feel pain and when it rains . but i dont know maybe it took longer for me to revover because when i was recovering i fell on my back 3 different times

My Aunt is just so awesome .

Hi Sophia! I love you videos and your instagram!! My best friend is part Of that 1% you were talking about I have scoliosis too but not as bad. I just want to say keep strong, surgery is nothing to be afraid of and that I admire you a lot about opening up to us that at least means a lot to me. I don't see you any different if that's for any use!! Keep us updated!!! Love from Colombia (South America hahahaha!) 

Hey Jenna, I totally know what your going threw cause I'm in the same situation as you are. I have scoliosis and can remember wearing that same day brace all through my fifth grade and when I got to high school and grade 9, my curve got worse again and was given two choices: wear the day brace all day long or opt for a night brace was i must say is 10 times worse than the day brace. So i chose the night brace. I started to wear it for one month and couldn't take it anymore. All in all, i ended up having 3 major spinal surgeries were each part or section of my spine was fused. In total from my scoliosis, I have had 8 major back surgeries related to my scoliosis. I end up having a full load of metal screws and rods in my back which have made my life even worse. The surgeries didn't go the way i had hoped they would have gone. My only advise for you is make sure you don't have the surgery if u dont need to cause once u have it, it's a big deal. anyhow, take care. p.s. my curvature was i believe 65+ degrees. 

Very encouraging story! I found this randomly after a close friend just came out of a successful surgery 2+ weeks ago. Also, in a Sanford hospital! He's a little tired and still healing, but I plan to share this with him to inspire him to keep moving forward! How are you doing these days Brittney? ... https://goodnewshealthandfitness.wordpress.com/2015/10/17/medical-how-to-treat-scoliosis/
