i'm 13, and i had a 107 degree curve. i had 2 surgeries and now my curve is 35 degrees! my surgeries were a week apart, and i was in the hospital 2 weeks. my surgery will be a year ago this wednesday!! =D
Im 14 and i have scoliosis.When I had phneumonia when i was 5 i had a chestXray and they found it then.I had an idiopathic S curve and was going to get progressivley worse.I went to Our Ladys Childrens Hospital For Sick Children in dublin,ireland.I had 2 small metal rods put in and i had another 3 smaller operations to lengthen them and a big one last march to fuse a permanent metal bar there.I never wore a brace but my results are brilliant.I have scars from my neck to the bottom of my back.
Wow, your video brings back a lot of memories. My spinal fusion was 20 years ago this year. I was only 11 at the time. I don't think it's changed a whole lot since then.
I'm 16 years old and I had the surgery a few months before I turned 15. My curve was pretty severe and I wore a back brace up until the surgery. It was on 23 hours a day, my dad letting me get an hour break for showers and stuff. Anyway, I'm not trying to freak anyone out here AT ALL but during my surgery, when they were straightening my spine, they ended up stretching my spinal chord, which paralyzed me from the waist down. I'm starting to walk again though!
I think this is the best video for me. How long did it take before you could ride on your horse again? Because I'm waiting for the operation now, but I cant ride my horses without pain, and I'm curious for what's going to happen after the operation... And my 15th birthday will propably also be in the hospital xD
hi, my name is luis and im from mexico, first of all thank you very much for uploading this kind of video and much more for posting this kind of FAQs. my sister has thoracic scoliosis she has 28° and the doctor said she needed to wear some kind of device for the whole day just to avoid the scoliosis to bend even more, now she doesnt know what to do cause this device is really unconfortable and she is afraid of surgery. does it really worth it¿¿ thanks for your response :)
hi. i am Diana from Israel. 6 years ago i was diagnosed with thoracic scolisos as well,i had 40 and 25 degrees. i wore a device called Boston Brace (which is pretty primitive compares to what we have today). i wore it for 3 years for 23 hours. taking breaks for a shower or for sports. when I look back now, i remember how hard it was being a teenage looking awkward. but i bought bigger shirts and tank tops and got used to it. it's worth it!!! encourage and support her the whole time!
My primary curve is in the lumbar its 40 degree..and im 20 yrs old. should i go in for the surgery? it gives me no pain and im very flexible and i do yoga! ..
also wondering if u can go clubbing in future nd dance fr a long time!?
Are you able to do high impact roller coaster rides now? I guest my question should start with did you do high impact roller coaster rides before your surgery?
I have my operation on the 28th of March 2011 :( Kinda worried but i saw your video and the way you was a soljer about it! What should i worry about ?
@CristianoRonaldoDSA aw did it hurt??? Im so scared ive been crying my eyes out cause yesterday I found out I have to get this surgery and.. idk what to do?!?! I might dieeeeeeeeeee :'(
@ImSureYouWillForget Don't be scared, the doctors know what they are doing :) You get all the painmeds you need and you wont hurt that much as you think, it will be uncomfortable in the beginning of course, but you will not suffer in any way. There is a lot of facebook groups for people with scoliosis, if you have a lot of questions or if you feel like talking to someone whos in the same situation you should contact someone there. It helps a lot! :)
I had surgery for scoliosis when I was 12 and now I am 27, at times I feel stiff does anyone else who has had this surgery fell stiff at times? If so please share and tell what you do to losen up.
@cocopuffs910 What do you mean by feeling stiff? Im feeling stiff too, but its because the metal is stiff of course :) I don't have any problems with it and i don't think about it really :) I can do everything i want to and my back isn't a problem really. If you get what i mean :)
@CristianoRonaldoDSA I mean as far as dancing goes, there are some dances that I can't to like a popular dace where I live called Hip rolling, you can youtube it and see how it's done.
@cocopuffs910 i had my surgery when i was 12 too <3 lolzz and like i was pretty stiff too so i decided to start dancing. Now trust me its gunna be uncomfortable at first but after a week or so you'll get intune and stop feeling so stiff, oh and another thing i did is i stared cheerleading, and when im doing that i stretch out all of my muscles. Im 16 at the moment and sometimes i forget i even have metal in me.
i have major scoliosis my spines in the shape of an S and turned completly around it hurts so bad everyday it gets worse but my doctor keeps screwing up the fax and screwing around and i get teased everyday from freinds,enemies everyone and it makes my life all that more worse cause im only 12 and it only hurts more when i let all the teasing and hurting get to me.
@awesomeyouare1 I'm sorry to hear that, but that never happened to me. I didnt eat much food in the beginning so i didnt have to go to the bathroom to poop for after some days, hehe. At that time i felt better than in the beginning so i could wipe myself. Maybe thats not the case for everyone tho. And also i kept feeling better and better as the days went by, and it helped by walking because when i exercised my blood flood better through my body and i could feel that it healed my body :)
@CristianoRonaldoDSA Thats how I was because of the morphine it binded my stomach I did't poop for a whole week. So I couldn't go home when I was suppose to. When you walk around like you said it gets alot easier.
@CristianoRonaldoDSA I'm so glad to hear that, i hope it will do the same for me. My paperwork is basically done. I need my mri first. Should'nt be much longer for me. Yes i'm chicken lol scary stuff.
Heyy, Im 16 and going to have lower spinal fusion in about 4 months. Well if I choose to. Id like to talk to someone who has actually had it done instead of doctors saying this and that but no personal experience in themselves. Whats it like? with the going toilet and the walking. I guess im going to have a while off college so do you know how long it might be (different of course because you have a different fusion).

my big sister gust go the surgery last tusday shes home now and gets this burning pain some times like sun burn i was just wondering did it happen to you and if so how did you get through it so i can help her she has only been home 3 days and has already been able to walk up the stairs but she keeps going really white sitting up and feels like she might be sick some times did that happen to you ? also i think your very brave for putting you story on youtube
A: No, I am so happy I had the surgery, the first weeks was the hardest but it was SO worth it. I had a lot of pain in my muscles BEFORE the surgery, and I am so happy to be out of pain and that I can live a normal life.
_____________________________ me, too! the first weeks were hard but now i'm totally happy!
My best friend has scoliosis and hes fine he didn't have to go through any of this well he might in the future hes 14 and im 15 and I might evan get scoliosis i just gotta get used to good posture lol
thank you for sharing your story,i live in Russia and I had surgery this summer, my spine is looks like your and I am soo glad that agreed to this operation,results are impressive, but it's bad that i became higher,now i'm near 1.85,higher all my friends:))
i would like to thank u 4 sharin your story. I found out that i scoliosis when i was 14 my doctor spotted my curve n sent me straight to hospital to have x-rays and a CAT scan, i was told on the spot that i needed the op. at the very last minute i pulled out, i was so scared! Now, 11years on! i am, most days in alot of pain and wish that i had the op so bad, after watchin these videos ive decided that i need 2 go through with it. If u need the op please dont do what i did, it only gets worse
I HAVE HAD6 HERRINGTON ROD OPERATIONS,BOUT5-6MONTHS THE RODS SEEM TO BREAK!!IT HURTS BAD EVERYDAY. IM NOT 1 TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PAIN I HAVE EVERY DAY. THE REASON I HAVE SCOLIOSIS IS CAUSE I BROKE MY NECK ON A TRAMPOLINE WHEN I WAS 12 &FROM SITING IN A WHEELCHAIR IT MADE MY SPINE CURVED.. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A GOOD DR THAT MIGHT NO BETTER AS 2 WHY MY RODS KEEP BREAKING. IF ANY1 NO'S OF A REAL GOOD DR PLEASE E-MAIL ME jenniferashton35@yahoo.com THANKS I LOVED YOU VIDEO... :)
jeg ble operert på rikshospitalet for 3 mnd siden, men de fant ut for noen dager siden at jeg måtte gjøre deler av operasjonen igjen.. :( jeg er 14 nå.
tusen takk for filmen! morsomt å se de samme sykepleierne som hjalp meg:)
My scoliosis gives me some discomfort and it hurts my back a few times a week but I don't want to go to the doctor because I have no health insurance and over here in America we would have to pay for the check up and forget about surgery, I'll be in debt the rest of my life. It kind of sucks but I tough it out. :/
ive had scoliosis for a few years now. im a 19 yr old male, and i fear i will not have enough money to pay for surgery for awhile as i am very poor. How much did the surgery cost altogether?
@TheAlex0517 hey! i have the same and debating whether to go in for the surgery this month! i look pretty normal, doesnt look tht bad as the x-ray .. is it same for u? did u go thru the surgery then?
i have a question? did u get to wear like a bra and underwear whe you got the surgery??? sorry for the weird question, im getting surgery in october this year .
@MiszJonas I had a spinal fusion surgery in June of this year and you don't wear anything but a hospital gown. Once you are back in your room however, you are free to put them on.
I admire you! i have scoliosis too, but i wore the corset for 3 years. it used to be 42 degrees...now after 3 years (and 2 years without it) it's only 32 degrees. my doctor said that i don't have to worry about surgery, but i am afraid i might get one since my joints are very flexible and when i look at the last Xrays it keeps "growing".
Wow, still in care when it was your birthday. It's still a nice gift to receive though. :D Fixed and well. :) I'm 13 now, living in Hawaii and going into surgery somewhere around August (hopefully. the doctors haven't given me a date yet.) Thank you for sharing. It gives me hope. <3
this made me cry. I had flash backs of my surgery. It was rough and painful. I didnt do physio so it got worse even though i have a rod.... I hate being deformed.
Hi, Thank you for posting your video! I might be getting surgery soon. I was just wondering if you still get back pain now? And If you are still able to do everything you did before the surgery?
I used to have quite severe Scoliosis, my back disappeared behind my shoulder blade and I used to have lot’s of facial pain – lots of blinking and facial spasms.
At 38 I got it fixed without an operation using a machine called Theraflex and the blinking stopped. Get your Physio/Oesteo/Chiro/Doctor to get one.

OMG i had the same thing done to me but i only spent 7 days in the hospital and started walking only 4hours after my surgery. Im so glad u got better. I started playing sports only 3 months after my surgery but was supose to wait 6 months to a year, this is such a wonderful video for everyone who is going through back surgery to see thank you
i have two curves, fourty on top and fourty four on the bottom. i was told that i should do physical therapy for a while so then i can go in in august to find out about surgery. THey said i was pretty borderline for surgery.
six months ago i had a fourty two and twenty seven degree curves. the bad one is on the bottom. i think its progressed and i find out what my options are on friday. what are your opinions on brace vs. surgery?
i just went to the doters a few days ago and they said that i have a 36 or 37 degree curve i dont remember which one but it was around there, definitely in the 30's. im also not done growing, will i need surgery? does anyone know, im kind of scared.
i have a 45 degree and doctors told me i have to do it as soon as possible and am really afraid.. so does it leave a scar or it just fades away by time and how worst should it look.. thnx u
thats weird, because i have a fourty degree on top and a fourtyfour degree on the bottom and they thought surgery was a bit agressive for me. well good luck!
i'm 12 years old with scoliosis, I have to wear a back brace to prevent it from getting worse, i never wear the back brace only when i go to bed, but i can't help it i hate that stupid thing! Well hopefully i don't have to get the surgery my doctor and mom said that it sucks, but how would my mom know he doesn't have it! soo im scared, haha. Can you still bend with pulls in your back?
Hi. I got diagnosed with scoliosis when i was 12 and i also had to wear a brace for about a year. I only wore it at night because i didnt want to wear it to school... then, when i was 14 i had surgery and although it was hard at the time, now it's so much better and i'm glad i had the surgery. I can bend perfectly, i just cant do really flexible movements and stuff like that. dont worry, there are many people who have gone through this and it'll get better. hope this helped. :D
Hey, I just have to tell you that I love your video. I had scoliosis surgery in January this last year, and during my early recovery I saw your video for the first time. It was the first time I had seen a scoliosis video and I remember it being a big deal for me to sit at the computer after surgery to see it. Now when I see your movie it reminds me of my early recovery and all of my successes. The song has nostalgic meaning for me! lol. How are you doing? Never give up, ~Katie
I'm 44 and had my first scoliosis surgery last year.... trust your consultant (and if you don't then go and find one that you do x)...
I'm just over a year post-op... My Doc told me the reason for the surgery was to prevent further deterioration of the spine and that it may or may not reduce the pain.... Well it hasn't reduced the pain but I am straighter :o)
im happy 4u tha u had u sergury i have several scoliosis and i been trying to get a sergury but the doctors tell me that its too late 4 me cz im 21 years old =(
I don't think that's completely right. I'm 19 and i got a surgery 1 month ago and i know people who got one at 25. You should ask for a second opinion,don't just leave it...I don't know how many degrees your curve is, but it could cause serious problems...Anyway, just an advice...Good luck!
If it doesnt show much or hurt then, in my opinion, you should not worry. Go on checkups every year to see if it gets worse. And dont be afraid to talk to your doctor about it :)
i was gonna have this surgery too.. i wish i would have seen this video before i decided not to have it. this makes me so damn mad right now, i mean its good tht nothing bad happened to you but now i gotta wait and schedule a new one..
I suppose I am glad my video helped you on your decition. I think my surgery reflects a lot of other surgeries, there is only a FEW surgeries that causes problems :) Let me hear how youre doing if you get the surgery :)
yeah, thanks. idk when im gonna have it, could you tell me what the side affects are of having this? can u like bend your back well, because im trying to be a professional boxer and idk if i can even do it because of scoliosis. but if you could tell me the side affects i'd appreciate it
I can only answer on how my surgery affected me, because it may be very individual. I have never done boxing, but I have done car-racing, horsebackriding, soccer, volleyball and some other sports. As long as i don't get kicked in my back I am totally OK. The doctors told me that I have to live a completely normal life and that i can do ALL sports i want. I guess boxing will be okay IF you work out after the surgery and build up the muscles you had before, witch I guess you will :)
thank you, i appreciate it. hopefully the doctor says that i can do the same. i wish i had the chance to talk to you earlier. i do thank you very much :)
im like 3-4 months into my operation and ive started to do boxing ahah i dont know if its a good thing but id doesnt hurt so i guess by about 12 months you might, really depends on the person and what your sugeon says
It looks like ur surgery went really well and u got well pretty quick! I have to get surgery next summer and I'm kind of freaked out, but yeah...Were u in a lot of pain? And is any of your movement restricted now like can u bend ur back easily with the rods there?
I also have Scoliosis but I am very afraid of the surgery, if that is what it comes down to. Congratulations on the surgery and I hope you're still doing well. :)
omg, im sooo scared. i have to have the surgery next summer when im 14. and my curve is kinda bad, idk what degree. but its kinda noticable. but ive never had surgery before. and that just looked sooo scary. im glad u r better though :) thanks for posting this video. it did help a bit :D
i had my surgery in aug 2008 and i want to be someone who ppl can talk to b4 going through their surgery or if they need to know some info about the surgery.
i have a website and i will reply EVERY email i receive from YOU.
1) Yes of course you feel pain after the surgery, but its not for long and its not that bad because you get all the medication you need to not feel pain. Youre not supposed to feel pain at the hospital. If you ask the people at the hospital, then they will give you what you need.
2) I can do most of the stuff that i did before. But i choose not to play football bacause im always scared that someone will shoot the ball in my back. The doctors allow you to do all that you did before. its up to you to decide what you dont want to do. I can ride all rollercoasters, ride horses, drive a racecar etc.
I do have one problem with bending my body backwards and reach the floor with my arms (if you know what i mean).
3) i do not feel inferior to others I am as much a person as everybody else. You cant feel that you have something inside you. I often forget that i have metal in my back, because you cant feel it at all. You learn to live with it and you get used to it. Do you feel the bone inside your foot?? Its just the same. hehe.
Its nothing to be scared of. Its not as bad as it may sound.
hey ya :) how you feel now.? i had this before... :/ and i don't want to remember pain after surgery.... ;) last sumer they put it out this metal from my back because it become hurt sometime very much ... and second operation was not so much painful after... but now i feel good ;) take care of your self
it depends on the severity, sometimes ppl only need to wear a brace for a while or for the rest of their lives. It all depends on the location (lumber,thorasic), the angle, and all these other factors. To prevent it all u need are general excersices (push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups) they all help strengthen the back, though if u want something specific than i suggest lateral pulldowns for the upper back, i don't know any for lower
P.S. if u want know credientials my dad's a chiropractor
Hii Im 13. and i bet everybody is proudd of you for going through this surgery. I was recently diagnosed with Scoliosos last wednesday march 4th. I have a curvature of 50 degrees or so. This was the first time i knew i had it but the doctor immediately reccomended well suggested a spinal fusion. And i was wondering what happends with it before operation/during/recoveryy. thank you soo muchh! and congratulationss for making it through thiss!!
The scar is visible yeah, but its not that bad. If you just care for it and dont have it in direct sunshine, then it will be pretty :)
I cant bend much backwards, no.
And if your friend has 10 degrees, she will never ever get a surgery. A normal person has 10 degrees scoliosis. I gues when you only have 10 degrees its not even called scoliosis. Its just a normal spine :)
So no, she doesnt want a surgery when she doesnt have scoliosis :)
Omg i have a 36 degree after seeing this im not going to do surgery, im 15 btw for boys 15 is the peak of growing so i may be one more inch and im done! I really hope my curve wont get worse.
when i was on the hospital in may 2008 , my back was 32 degrees. so now i have a boston brace, and that`s not funny, i hate it :(. i think i will take away my brace in june-september.... so this will be the second summer for me with boston brace.
sometimes i think `it`s better to do a surgery because my brace hurts so much :(
After 3 months i went back on the horse and started riding again. It went great but you need to be careful. If you fall off the horse you may be in deep trouble :/
ive got scolios but i don't know how bad it is yet cos i haven't been to the hospital diagnosis thing. But does horse riding affect because i love horse riding and i reli don't want to stop it . tap back x
i jus had my operation done...dec 08...am still recoverin....it felt weird at first...my back felt stiff, but its all better now, i too recommend surgery
your scar is little compared to mine, im 13 i had my surgry in may 08. my scar goes from below my [back] neck down to 4in above my buttcrack! lol. but its not that bad. its just pink not darkk.
El ejercicio equilibrado del tronco superior desde niño es imprescindible, pero por desgracia tanto tiempo de ocio dedicado a ver televisión/videojuego/ordenado r tendrán como consecuencia un aumento de niños y jóvenes que desarrollaran esta patología si no se pone freno a tiempo, la natación es una actividad recomendable sin duda, pero no lo es menos hacer deporte con CARLEVER que se puede practicar en cualquier sitio y a cualquier hora. y por si fuese poco es muy divertido
You were so strong honey, you gave me the courage to face my own scoliosis surgery. God bless you sweetheart. You helped me be brave.

I had it done and the nurses half to help you wipe when you go to the bathroom and the pain hurts with walking but grows as you walk more
awesomeyouare1 1 year ago
@awesomeyouare1 I'm sorry to hear that, but that never happened to me. I didnt eat much food in the beginning so i didnt have to go to the bathroom to poop for after some days, hehe. At that time i felt better than in the beginning so i could wipe myself. Maybe thats not the case for everyone tho. And also i kept feeling better and better as the days went by, and it helped by walking because when i exercised my blood flood better through my body and i could feel that it healed my body :)

@CristianoRonaldoDSA Thats how I was because of the morphine it binded my stomach I did't poop for a whole week. So I couldn't go home when I was suppose to. When you walk around like you said it gets alot easier.

Heyy, Im 16 and going to have lower spinal fusion in about 4 months. Well if I choose to. Id like to talk to someone who has actually had it done instead of doctors saying this and that but no personal experience in themselves. Whats it like? with the going toilet and the walking. I guess im going to have a while off college so do you know how long it might be (different of course because you have a different fusion).
Thankyouu for any information.

Q: Do you regret having the surgery?
A: No, I am so happy I had the surgery, the first weeks was the hardest but it was SO worth it. I had a lot of pain in my muscles BEFORE the surgery, and I am so happy to be out of pain and that I can live a normal life.

My scoliosis gives me some discomfort and it hurts my back a few times a week but I don't want to go to the doctor because I have no health insurance and over here in America we would have to pay for the check up and forget about surgery, I'll be in debt the rest of my life. It kind of sucks but I tough it out. :/

I admire you! i have scoliosis too, but i wore the corset for 3 years. it used to be 42 degrees...now after 3 years (and 2 years without it) it's only 32 degrees. my doctor said that i don't have to worry about surgery, but i am afraid i might get one since my joints are very flexible and when i look at the last Xrays it keeps "growing".
anyway! lovely back and lovely girl :)

I used to have quite severe Scoliosis, my back disappeared behind my shoulder blade and I used to have lot’s of facial pain – lots of blinking and facial spasms.
At 38 I got it fixed without an operation using a machine called Theraflex and the blinking stopped. Get your Physio/Oesteo/Chiro/Doctor to get one.

Hi. I got diagnosed with scoliosis when i was 12 and i also had to wear a brace for about a year. I only wore it at night because i didnt want to wear it to school... then, when i was 14 i had surgery and although it was hard at the time, now it's so much better and i'm glad i had the surgery. I can bend perfectly, i just cant do really flexible movements and stuff like that. dont worry, there are many people who have gone through this and it'll get better. hope this helped. :D

boxinsteadyeddie 2 years ago
I can only answer on how my surgery affected me, because it may be very individual. I have never done boxing, but I have done car-racing, horsebackriding, soccer, volleyball and some other sports. As long as i don't get kicked in my back I am totally OK. The doctors told me that I have to live a completely normal life and that i can do ALL sports i want. I guess boxing will be okay IF you work out after the surgery and build up the muscles you had before, witch I guess you will :)

Hi, I´m Maria! My surgery is scheduled for this summer. i´ve got somthing like 65 degrees.
Ive got some questions to do: =)
- Many had pain after the operation? Please speak of them in detail because I am dying of fear: (
- what are the things that can not do?
- feel inferior to others? that you feel something strange inside you?
all that they respond, do it please :D
Im really scared :S
marialool 2 years ago
Hey Maria :)
1) Yes of course you feel pain after the surgery, but its not for long and its not that bad because you get all the medication you need to not feel pain. Youre not supposed to feel pain at the hospital. If you ask the people at the hospital, then they will give you what you need.
CristianoRonaldoDSA 2 years ago
2) I can do most of the stuff that i did before. But i choose not to play football bacause im always scared that someone will shoot the ball in my back. The doctors allow you to do all that you did before. its up to you to decide what you dont want to do. I can ride all rollercoasters, ride horses, drive a racecar etc.
I do have one problem with bending my body backwards and reach the floor with my arms (if you know what i mean).
CristianoRonaldoDSA 2 years ago
3) i do not feel inferior to others I am as much a person as everybody else. You cant feel that you have something inside you. I often forget that i have metal in my back, because you cant feel it at all. You learn to live with it and you get used to it. Do you feel the bone inside your foot?? Its just the same. hehe.
Its nothing to be scared of. Its not as bad as it may sound.

CAn you treat scoliosis without surgery, and how can you prevent of getting it ?
pycckuu911 3 years ago
it depends on the severity, sometimes ppl only need to wear a brace for a while or for the rest of their lives. It all depends on the location (lumber,thorasic), the angle, and all these other factors. To prevent it all u need are general excersices (push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups) they all help strengthen the back, though if u want something specific than i suggest lateral pulldowns for the upper back, i don't know any for lower
P.S. if u want know credientials my dad's a chiropractor

This was the first time i knew i had it but the doctor immediately reccomended well suggested a spinal fusion. And i was wondering what happends with it before operation/during/recoveryy. thank you soo muchh! and congratulationss for making it through thiss!!

how bad is the scar now?
is the scar visible today?
what are the things u cannot do after the surgery even today???
can u bend backwards?
the reason i ask is because my friend is a dancer and she has 10 degrees scoliosis and she wants to have surgery.
onemin1986 3 years ago
The scar is visible yeah, but its not that bad. If you just care for it and dont have it in direct sunshine, then it will be pretty :)
I cant bend much backwards, no.
And if your friend has 10 degrees, she will never ever get a surgery. A normal person has 10 degrees scoliosis. I gues when you only have 10 degrees its not even called scoliosis. Its just a normal spine :)
So no, she doesnt want a surgery when she doesnt have scoliosis :)

when i was on the hospital in may 2008 , my back was 32 degrees. so now i have a boston brace, and that`s not funny, i hate it :(. i think i will take away my brace in june-september.... so this will be the second summer for me with boston brace.
