    Hi Maddy, I would like to connect with you how you feel after spine surgery. Both of my girls diagnosed with severe scoliosis. They were really scared and didn’t want to do surgery. Scheduled surgery in early June 2024. Can you give me an advice? Did you happy or regret doing the surgery? Thanks

    In 2016 I got diagnosed with scoliosis the first orthopedic doctor I went to told me I needed a brace because I wasn’t quite severe enough for surgery I did that for almost 2 years I hated it so much it hurt and didnt help so we got a second opinion he said wow your first doctor should have never suggested a brace you need surgery because I was 15 they made me wait a few months so my growth plates could finish growing in the meantime I went to the chiropractor a few times but then I had a spinal fusion that was 12 hrs long and the next day they wanted me to start walking I went home three days later and immediately started physical therapy and I did that off and on for two years the only reason I did physical therapy that long was because my joints and muscles weren’t used to my back being straight so that caused major issue that made me need to stay in physical therapy longer I don’t do physical therapy anymore but sometimes I still feel like I should because rarely I still have knee and hip pains

      Hi, your story is similar to one of my daughter. Both of my daughters diagnosed with scoliosis. My eldest one is too late to do braces. Same with my second girl. The pediatric doctor recommended to do spine surgery. But some of the people like the chiropractors & some of my friends don’t recommend spine surgery because it’s very invasive especially my girls are still young. 18 & 13. Did you happy that you did a surgery? Or regret? How was your mobility? Can you still bend? My daughters love dancing and they are scared that after surgery, they will lose the mobility or be able to be flexible

    • @PiperFrech
      @PiperFrech Місяць тому

      @@LindsayTu no I do not regret the surgery I can’t go to chiropractors anymore now that I have the rods in my back however I had my surgery 6 years ago and since then there has been more research and better treatment plans like I know this one surgery they have materials that they use that allow the child to continue growing and not have to worry about more surgeries or anything like that but because of when I had my surgery I had to wait until I was done growing so I wouldn’t have to have more surgeries or anything my mobility is pretty much the same and no difference but I do still get joint pains and aches after doing to much physical activity which isn’t ideal but I work on it by continuing physical therapy but again since I’ve had my surgery there are a lot better options that allow kids to continue growing normally

      @@PiperFrech Thank you so much for your reply. The girls will have second opinion next week. My 18 yos daughter felt anxious because she didn’t want to do surgery. She thinks she is fine and doesn’t need a surgery. Her chiropractor kinda giving her a hope that with proper treatment, the curve will get better. Is it true? If it’s true, then most scoliosis people will get chiro treatment that less invasive than doing surgery. May I ask, is it you or your parents who want to do surgery?

      @@LindsayTu honestly if she’s already 18 and done growing there’s not much that will help the curve aside from a form of surgery and no it was not my parents choice it was my choice I hated the pain I hated the braces and having to sit out of my sports so even though the surgery and its recovery was really hard I wouldn’t have it any other way because even though I still have joint issues I have zero back problems and still have pretty much complete normal flexibility which is what I needed to keep doing the things I love

    Did yall know God's Son Jesus Christ Died On The Cross and Rose Again From The Dead out of The Tomb on The 3rd Day. He Died for Everyones Sins even Mine. He Paid the Horrible Price we should have Paid. But He Paid it So We Would Have A Way into Heaven. if We Repent for Our Sins and Believe in Him and Serve Him and Obey Him. So I Encourage Those We Are Living In The Last Days I Encourage Anyone Not Saved Now Its the Time To Repent And Live For The Lord Before Its To Late and God's Final Judgment Comes. After you accept Jesus Christ into your heart and you Repent for Your Sins Your Name Gets Written Down in The Lamb's Book Of Life. and You Gotta Continue to Serve the Lord and Repent for Your Sins all the days of your life until Jesus comes back to call His Church home. Because No Ones Perfect we all Sin. but we need to Not Willfully Sin. and i will admit i have willfully sinned multiple times and I feel Guilty About it So I Repent we Were Made sinners because of Adam And Eve. but we dont need to Sin on Purpose. But We Sin All The Time Because we Humans get Angry and hurt people. and Are Hateful toward people when God commands us to Love Our Neighbors. and Pray for Our Enemies. there is all kinds of Sins. We Are Allowed to Be Frustrated at Peoples Actions. Without getting Angry and injuring People and breaking Stuff. Or Name Calling thats Wrong to. Heaven And Hell Are Real... and after Jesus Christ comes back and calls His Church home. Alot of people will be left behind because of being to caught up with the world and not believing in God. and other stuff And During that time the Anti Christ will reveal himself and Lie to People and Say Hes Jesus Christ. and he will try and Deceive the ones in Israel. and in turn Try and And Deceive the Entire World. and he will try to force People to Receive a Chip in their Right Hand or Foreheads.The Anti Christ hasn't Revealed Himself yet Though. and If you havent noticed they are trying to push for digital currency but we dont know who the Anti Christ Is. Only the ones left behind will know unless people make things right with GOD. Revelation 20:11 KJV And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Revelation 20:12 KJV And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Revelation 20:13 KJV And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Revelation 20:14 KJV And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 20:15 KJV And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

    How is your range of motion? My surgeon is talking about moving forward and I'm scared of physical limitations

    • @MaddyA
      @MaddyA 3 місяці тому

      I will start by saying I had L3-T10 ish fused - only about 6 vertebrae. My range of motion is pretty great! It is important to note there is a difference between flexibility and mobility. I can bend over and touch my toes because I am flexible. I can do a hula hoop motion with my hips just fine because I have mobility. I specifically can't bend the section of my spine that is fused. So if I try to do the cobra yoga move... it hurts and it does not work. Certain movements don't work because of the fusion, but I have not found an activity that I can't do because of it! It's all about learning how you move!

      @MaddyA 3 місяці тому

      Hi! Oh my goodness - I can imagine the discomfort you must feel. I did have an MRI - they are standard practice if you have back surgery (at least in North America_ because your surgeon needs a really good idea of what is happening with your spine as well as your spinal cord. The MRI helps to check if your spinal cord is compromised. It really just gives your surgical team the best possible picture of what is happening with your spine!

      My back is great! Every now and then when I over exert it, it gets a little sore but that is the same for anyone, back surgery or not. I have really great range of motion - I can bend over, touch my toes, bend to the side as well. Keep in mind, though, that being able to bend over/touch your toes has a LOT to do with flexibility. I know people that have not had spinal fusion and they can't touch their toes. It depends! I can sit wherever I want to.

    I love the content that you provided in the video! I do think there are a few things that you could possibly add to the emergency kit that may help in the event of infrastructure failure. It may be good to include something like puncture-resistant gloves or a solar-power power bank/panels to carry around for long-term requirements. Otherwise, it's great that you're taking an initative to provide more awareness with an increase in natural disasters (forest fires, flooding, etc.) that's happening around the world!

    • @MaddyA
      @MaddyA 7 місяців тому

      Great question - the extra curricular section of the personal profile (if I remember correctly) only gives you about 50 words to describe each activity. If there is one or two you want to talk about more in depth then go for it! I would not dedicate this whole question to talking about extracurriculars are, though. They can be part of it, but it may be more fitting to address them in a different question.

      @@davinaelesin4237 This section is very different from the extracurricular section so in theory, you shouldn't be repeating yourself. You can certainly speak to some of your extracurricular experiences in the "what have you done, what have you learned and how has that made you who you are today?" section if they have in fact contributed to your growth. The extracurricular section doesn't give you space to dive deep or reflect in the same way. Not sure if that clears things up? Not sure how else to answer your question. Keep in mind the personal profile may have changed in the past 4 years so best to check UBC's website for any major changes!

    hey maddy, i just want to say thank you for sharing your experience because it has allowed me to finally relate to someone! I currently have a similar curve to you prior surgery, except I have no upper curve, just a 50 degree lumbar curve. I don't really have any pain when sitting, but when I am standing or walking for more than half an hour my back starts to get very sore and achy. I will also be having T10 - L4 fused in the coming months which is quite daunting, but you have made me have a more positive outlook on it. I do have two questions though: 1. have your hips and waist become symmetrical, 2. have you had any pain at all since the surgery? Once again, it is wonderful to have someone to finally relate to! 💗

    • @MaddyA
      @MaddyA 9 місяців тому

      Hi Jade! So glad this has been a source of comfort and connection for you :) To answer your q's: 1. Since surgery my hips are nearly symmetrical! There are natural imbalances in my body and my spine is not absolutely 100% perfectly straight, but that said, it is SO much better (curve is less than 8 degrees now). 2. I experience mild discomfort if I over exert my back or try to twist/bend it in ways it can't. I can go hiking all day with a heavy pack and feel pretty dang good, or weight lift and be okay. So much of it is learning how to live with a fused spine, but overall, there hasn't been much pain or discomfort to stop me from doing anything really!

    • @catnapnen

      Braces weaken the muscles, its not a perfect solution. But surgery is way to early. I dont know what you did now, but I suggest you go to the ostepath. Find one, its important. Go swimming with your daughter, make her move more and touch her spine everyday and see how it moves. X rays will help. Sleep with the brace or only let her sleep on her back, its very important. But her a good matress. Take care, I hope everything is better now.
