hey hope ypu answer my question but was the surgery painful? i may (slight chance but already wearing a brace) have surgery and im real scared cuz i really dont want to have the surgery!!! hoep you reply:) liked ur video
@CrACkaNation They make sure to keep you on a lot of medication. You will never be in pain in the hospital and if you are let a doctor or nurse know. After you get home you will feel sore as you try to wing off all medication, but now I am 100% fine. I dance and sometimes get sore, but for the most part I feel back to normal. Be strong! Keep fighting. Thanks for watching/liking my video. Means a lot! I am always here. Feel free to message me
did they have to fuse the rods to your spine? I had two surgeries, one to put rods in and a second to lengthen them. my last one is to fuse them and the doctors said it will be ten hours long so since yours was seven hours, which is longer than my last two, I was just wondering and if so, how painful was it cuz im pretty nervous
@diildude It's defintely not easy, but the doctors will put you on pain medication to ensure you feel no pain. I really don't remember much of my experience in the hospital now because of the medication I was on. If you feel pain while in the hospital be sure to tell a nurse or doctor. Never just sit back. That's what they are there for! Keep me posted. I'd love to answer any more questions.
You emit so much joy and hope and this although you so much grief and pains has endured!
My daughter also has Skoliose and is operated next year the fear of it is simply indescribably big!
I hope you have well got over your operation and can dance to your passion to him follow again without limitation! I wish you for the future all the best and a lot of luck.
@Tweety200032 thank you so much for watching. it means so so much. I will be praying for your daughter. It truthfully will change her life. I wish you all the best. Please feel free to keep me posted.
Hey victoria... I had scoliosis all my life and the doctor said I only had a little curve and they told me they had no way of fixing it since I've already grown... The pain doesn't go away but at times it does.. How can I prevent of not getting hurt =(.. I hate it so much
@Mashimuzy i would stretch alot. loosen up your muscles and take advil if it ever hurts really bad. dancing really helps me out. i stretch everyday so it helps your muscles (: let me know if it works
I cannot understand why the doctors would use bracing and surgery when there are proven non-surgical methods to fully correct the curve in someone's spine. I have seen some videos where the after x-rays still show a curve albeit very minor. Also why would anyone want their spine fused which will limit your abilities. Also if the doctor during surgery makes one wrong move you could be paralyzed or die.
@jnnfrngo I'm not super sure. I didn't have a needle put in my neck. Yes things get painful at times, but just stay strong. It's so worth it I promise. It makes you so much stronger (emotionally and physically). I will pray for you. Let me know if you need anything else.
@ItsTaylorLeigh That is so funny. What a small world. I wish I could bend my back too! I am a dancer so yeah it's hard. I am glad to hear you are doing well. Message me anytime so we can talk
hi victoriaa... iwass wondering how long does the pain last and how much longer does it take for you to be able to do stuff again... ihave thiss surgeryy in junee
@ashhh26 Well, It took me about 6 months to recover completely. You start to get stronger about a month after though. Just stay tough. Take medicine. Make sure you try and walk a lot too. Even though it sucks, it helps. Let me know if you need anything else.
I'm having my surgery on february 7th but i'm going to the hospital one day before to get to know the staff and I hope there will be someone in my age there i can talk to.
How was the surgery to you?? When you sat the first time did it hurt much?? or when you walked, stood and woke up from surgery?? My doctor told me that i will have a lot of pain the first days so........ i'm not happy about it :P It would really help if you anwerd because i'm really scared!! And how fast did you heal?
@izaabeellaa The surgery for me was a pretty hard process. When I sat up for the first time, it didn't hurt, but I felt so weak. I remember thinking I would never dance again. When I walked and stood up, I just felt weak and tired. No pain though. The doctors will give you enough medicine, so that you don't feel pain. Let know them know if something hurts. They will give you medicine to numb it. I hope everything is going well. I am praying for you. Let me know :)
hi victoria, my name is stephanie & i have scoliosis too. i was told that i needed surgery as well but i am just so scared right now, can you tell me how you felt after the surgery like if you were in pain or anything...i feel like i cant talk to anyone about this and i just want to hear from someone who knows how i am feeling right now PLEASE !
I know exactly how you are feeling. Well, to be honest, I don't really remember how the pain actually felt. The doctors are trained, and they give you medication so that you aren't in pain. If you feel pain, let them know. That is what they are there for. To be honest, you will be on so much medicine that you will be numb basically. You will get stronger though. Just stay tough. I will pray for you. Let me know if you have any more questions.
hi my name is jadasia and i am 13yrs old i have scoliosis as well my doctor said i can not be put on a brase because of my age and im not in the need of surgery it hasnt gottn that bad bt its startn ing to show mii rib cage is turnt n mii stomach is as well i can reach down and touch my toes and do back binds bt how can my scoliosis go away with out having surgery
@247poohbaby Hello Jadasia. I am sorry to here that you can not have a brace. It is good that you don't need surgery. Keep me posted. I will pray for you
I am a 13 year old girl who just had the surgery and I wanted to know what other people had to go through. I was especially happy when I found yours because I went to the same hospital as you! My surgeon was Dr. Sullivan and he had me meet another patient who had recently had the surgery also. I loved that hospital they took great care of me. I had my surgery on December 10th 2010.
@marshmallow101kitty OH MY GOSH! no wayyyyy. that was my doctor. i'm so glad you told me! how was your experience? the hospital and people are awesome! you are in my prayers! keep me posted.
@raquelmariedailey yes! alot of the videos on here are from after my surgery. i can't bend my back too well, but i manage. i love to dance. it doesn't matter if you are the best in the world, all that matters is your love for it! stay strong. keep me posted :)
@smw0027 i still have my scar. i'm pretty sure i always will. it is pretty cool actually and my friends always want to see it. don't try and it get rid it of it. it reminds you to stay strong :)
hello, my name is Heather. i am 16 years old. i have severe scoliosis, & it's worse then any of these girls i have watched. if you could would you please write me on my email, hmalstan@yahoo.com i would appreciate it. i am loosing hope, & i need some strength.
@jessiecomedy15 There can be with any surgery....... BUT if you keep praying to god he will get you through it.. I promise you. I have had 18 surgeries in my life and I'm 15 and God has spared me through all of it, and I know if you are close to him he will bless you and you'll have an amazing recovery. I'll be praying for you! (When is your surgery?)
YOGA!! Yoga saved me from getting surgery ... I found out I had scoliosis when I was ten ... the doctor got me a back brace right away (which I wore religiously) but still wanted to operate two years later. I started doing yoga (also religiously) when I was 13 ... I have improved my curvatures (I have three) by ten degrees each and am flexible enough and don't have pain and problems! I had a nearly 70 degree curve which is now sitting at a stable 50 : ))) Hope this helps some of you!!
im13 i found out i had scoliosis on April 10 2010. i was 64 degrees at the top curve and 45 at the bottom curve but i got new X-RAYs and my curve got alot wose im wearing the spincor brace to slow it down from it getting worse ive been 2 on sick kids hospitle waiting list for 3months now for surgery
@celenacookiedough i have an appoitment with Dr. Zeller in January, how did the meeting go? what did he say in terms of treatment and was he nice? What are your curves? Hope all is well.
@flowers21xoxo it went good toke him a while to get in the room, but it was good. he said it would take me 2 years to fully recuver, their not gonna fix my bottum curve. and i dont know yet i just saw my X-rays im gusting 70 and 40somthing
hey, im 15 and i was put on the waiting list for surgery in june 2008, and at the start of this year they booked me in, but my mum cancled it because she has scoliosis too but she never had surgery and she fine( most of the time) but lately iv been having really bad back aches so im doing all this research just so i can know a little bit more about this surgery, your video really helped me make my decision. thank you :) by the way, did you keep they weight you lost after the surgery off? :)
@TheMovieman4ever good luck with everything. it was painful but the doctors make sure you have all the medicines you need. stay strong! thanks for watching :)
Hey I'm on my brother's account but anyway My name is Shaela I am 18 now, and am getting surgery next January I am SO scared, how were you feeling during the surgery and after?
@pvtpena the best advice i can give is to stay strong. there is not really too much pain because the doctors will make sure you have all the medicine you need. just stay strong and positive. best of luck! thank you for watching :)
Hi! My name is Maddie and I have scoliosis too! I live in New Jersey... anyway, the last time I went to the doctors (January 27th) I was 40 degrees and 28 degrees.. I have a brace, but I barely wear it. I go back to the doctors on July 27th and I am super nervous! Thanks for posting this video; it helps to know that I'm not alone and other people are going through the same thing I am! Thanks and good luck --Maddie :D
Hi Victoria, my daughter runs track very active in school and is 12yr old. We were told she has a 60 degree curve in her back and has to have surgery. We are very nervous is there any words of encouragement for us, and we live in Indiana about 20min from Chicago. Please respond thank you and I pray all is well with you.
@yowshe0412 thank you so much for the prayers and for watching. my advice is to just stay strong and positive for your daughter. my mom was really supportive and my surgery actually brought our relationship to a stronger point. the process of recovery is long, but it is so worth it in the end. i will keep you in my prayers. good luck :)
This is a good video. I had back surgery in 2006 and I had to go through everything you went through. I was 14 when I had surgery so it was tough. In the long run it was worth it :)
I got rid of my Scoliosis at 38 without surgery using a Theraflex Machine.
Search mjYU_fWhjU4 in the You Tube search box to see me having a treatment session. My back used to disappear behind my shoulder blade and a few sessions on this and now it’s visible along the whole back. Before and after photos on my Facebook Group : Scoliosis Cures and Pain Relief. Have a look, get your Doctor to have a look and get them to get one - Nice dancing
How long in total did it take to recover? Any feedback about the recovery would be awesome, that's the part I'm actually more worried about :$, the pain seems like a lot for a long time!
@daaniellechristine it took about a year to fully recover. just stay strong and make sure to walk and stuff. don't rush the recovery though. make sure you get a lot of best rest and relax. you will be back to normally eventually. good luck! thank you for watching :)
@danicingxjessers i got the sasme surgery. yes your are in alot of pain but u learn to deal with it and the best thing to do is to get up and walk walk walk. do as much as u can affter 3 weeks after my surgery i started band camp...and it got me back to normal within a quick amount of time. dont be scared
i had scoliosis surgery back in 2001 and now im 23 and living a normal life i almost had my full back done and glad i got it done . only thing that still effects me is when cold air hits the back of my neck and my back and it feels weird . soemtimes i do get stiff . do you have any issues ?
I have scoliosis.....I mean I used to have scoliosis, I just had surgery on February 9, it was really scary...The worst part of it was taking the tape out that stuff is really painfu;....My degrees used to be 71 and now it 3*, I couldn't beleive it at first either....I'm glad I did the surgery, but mines was 10 hours...
@victoriaperalta11 hey mines not at a 40 degree angle, but that doesnt mean that a brace will help fix it, i was wondering how long it will take after surgery before i am able to starting boxing again, i would be grateful for a well accounted reply
@BADDESTOFTHEMALLUKNO it all really depends on your body! usually it's like a 6 month period of time where you're supposed to be on bedrest. thank you for watching :)
i am also a dancer. performing is my life. my surgeon told me to rethinkk my career becuz i would never dance good again. luckily, i got a new surgeon who took risks, and after three weeks i was back ath the studio =) i can relate to your story. glad everything went well!!
the worst pain was probably because of the dressings tape. that stuff should be declared a torture device... Otherwise, the pain is lower on a scale of one to ten...
im getting surgery this June. I have a 32 and 47 degree curves. im pretty excited for it and to get it over with. but I was wondering what was life at home like for the few weeks you were recovering from surgery?
You are an amazing, strong girl, how old r u. You are very pretty, (no i am not a lesbian) lol srry, just so you don't get the wrong pic of me when i say ur pretty, but you are so strong. Keep at it. I love to dance, although im not all that good at it. just keep at it.
Sorry i didnt write back sooner,i had my surgery 6 weeks ago and have been busy concentrating on my recovery and just started school again which is really tiring!When in hospital i needed a blood transfusion,part of my left lung collapsed and i developed pneumonia,not nice but im over that now!So glad i had surgery now my curves are 10 degrees! I still feel weak and tired at times but have virtually no back pain which is fantastic!
I have scoliosis too. I find out on 10/06 if I am having surgery. I'm at 47 and 56 degrees. I just wanted to ask people on this comment section if music helped them?
For me, I listened to a lot of depressing stuff but then my friend introduced me to the Jonas Brothers and I have such a better mindset now. I really wish there was a way to thank them. I have it written everywhere: A little bit longer and I'll be fine. So I wanted to ask if music helped anyone else?
i don't really remember a lot of the time i was in the hospital. you will be put on so much medication so that you don't experience pain/ don't remember.
hey im so glad u did the sugery for me it was really worth it i have it done may 12th 2009 and u video really toched me :) i love to dance too but i cant still do it :( but soon : )
i'm am so sorry to hear that. maybe there is some sort of foundation that can help you pay for it? or insurance? i'll be praying for you. how bad is your curve?
I had this same surgery a year ago. Im glad i had the surgery but im still in a lot of pain everyday. it feels like how it felt when i was in the hospital. soo there gonna go back in and take it out :(
Im having this surgery in 4\5 weeks and have been waiting almost a year . I am 15 and am being fused whole spine apart from T1 and L4 , L5 . I liked your video and you seem a really happy person !
I wish I had done surgery rather than wear braces. It was the worst period of my life and it was ages ago, but it was horrible and it crippled my social skills until today. I wish I wouldn't have listened to my parents and thrown that crap away. You look great and happy, good luck!!
Surgery isn't fun it's very serious and painful and can cause issues down the road. Some people even have pain years post op.
Don't let your brace lower your self esteem and don't worry what people think about it. Brace have improved we now have Spinecor and TriaC, they are hardly noticable and in some studies ahve been proven to be better than traditional hard braces.
i might have to get the surgery :/ can you dance now???

Hi! My name is Maddie and I have scoliosis too! I live in New Jersey... anyway, the last time I went to the doctors (January 27th) I was 40 degrees and 28 degrees.. I have a brace, but I barely wear it. I go back to the doctors on July 27th and I am super nervous! Thanks for posting this video; it helps to know that I'm not alone and other people are going through the same thing I am! Thanks and good luck --Maddie :D

I got rid of my Scoliosis at 38 without surgery using a Theraflex Machine.
Search mjYU_fWhjU4 in the You Tube search box to see me having a treatment session. My back used to disappear behind my shoulder blade and a few sessions on this and now it’s visible along the whole back.

How long in total did it take to recover? Any feedback about the recovery would be awesome, that's the part I'm actually more worried about :$, the pain seems like a lot for a long time!

This video is inspiring.
I have scoliosis too. I find out on 10/06 if I am having surgery. I'm at 47 and 56 degrees. I just wanted to ask people on this comment section if music helped them?
For me, I listened to a lot of depressing stuff but then my friend introduced me to the Jonas Brothers and I have such a better mindset now. I really wish there was a way to thank them. I have it written everywhere: A little bit longer and I'll be fine. So I wanted to ask if music helped anyone else?

Surgery isn't fun it's very serious and painful and can cause issues down the road. Some people even have pain years post op.
Don't let your brace lower your self esteem and don't worry what people think about it. Brace have improved we now have Spinecor and TriaC, they are hardly noticable and in some studies ahve been proven to be better than traditional hard braces.
I hope you're doing well
