wow your very brave :O i have scoliosis as well & i might need surgery but im terrified of back surgery!:O doc says i might not have a choice but it just looks P A I N F U L -_-
@christellaiffy thank you ;) if I were you, do it while you still can. Believe me, it will be worth it in the end..Just pray always and you'll be fine. God bless
@christellaiffy the dermatologist will give you something to lighten the scar..in the long run, it'll be lighter, if not gone..there is also laser, but it is costly and much painful.
@fitzpol Hello! I think its more like, the best doctor as compared to best hospital. Here in Cebu, Dr. Agustin Morales is best known for spine surgery. Where are you from anyway? I can recommend him to you if you have plans to have surgery here in Cebu :)
I will have my scoliosis surgery this november, and i am really nervous about it. I am very happy that you were able to cope immediately with your operation. Watching your video made me teary- eyed. Good luck and God bless you :)
@ilike1zero Good luck on your surgery. Its okay to feel nervous. I was Nervous and anxious myself, too..Always remember to pray and trust in the Lord. You can do it! Good bless you, too!
@ilike1zero When is your surgery? or did you have it?? :) Mine is nov.30th so in less than 4 days..Let me know if you get this comment! Thanks so much :) <3
@sammysamgurl Wow! That is in a couple of days already..I wish you luck and speed recovery. I tell you, everything is worth it. Right after your surgery, try to feel your rib cage and you will see a difference..Pray and Trust in in God! :D
@AdrienneNicole1995 - thank you so much! I am doing great now. just got back from vacation with my family considering that im only 3 mos post op. God is good. Send my hello to your sister, Valerie, too. =)
wow in 12 years it went to 62, i was told i had mild scoliosis when i was 15 but i think i had it earlier because i hadn't gone to a doctor for 2 years and when i was 15 i was told, and now i'll be 17 later in the year, i hope mine wont progress like that, i hope your doing well:)
Hi! I'm Maddie, and I have scoliosis too. My curves (I have a S curve) are currently 40 degrees on top and 28 degrees on bottom. I'm really scared that I'm going to need surgery; I have a brace, but I barely wear it because its soo annoying! I go to the orthopedist in July and I've been soo nervous the past few days. I mean, I'm 15 which is when I think I stop growing... I want to be taller. I have one question: Do you get a shirt size bigger because of all the height that you get?
@w00tuser101 Hi there! Scoliosis that needs surgery ranges from 45 degrees and over which they categorize as severe scoliosis. With yours, I think the doctor needs to check on its progression before he decides to open you up. I used to wear a brace in high school too and like you, I barely used it. I stopped growing at the age of 16 and I thought the curve would stop growing BUT I was wrong. Over the years, it progressed 100%. During highschool my curve was 35 deg. b4 surgery it was 62 deg.
@w00tuser101 i did not have any problems before my surgery, maybe because the curve was on the thoracic, meaning to say on the upper side of the spine. After the surgery, there was pain but don't worry coz you will have pain meds to control it. =)
