    That's amazing💜
    Also, don't forget to be most grateful for the fact that you had supportive parents and the resources to obtain this surgery. Not all of us were. Had they caught it early on, my story would be different. However, now I'm 36 years old and deal with the excruciating pain of a 40° S-curve every day. My activities are limited. God bless you and you're very lucky to have been able to implement your knowledge and experiences to help others! I also LOVE tennis😉

    Thank you so much for sharing your story, I’ve been diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 13, originally it was 30 degrees s shape curve.
    It’s 6 years now after undergoing so much treatment I now have 49 degrees cobbs angle.
    I was about to lose all hope, as I was asking the same questions as you “why me” your story motivated me not to lose it.

    spinal fusion surgery isnt dangerous and it's rare that something goes wrong.. don't label it as something such as that, it actually saves people from living miserable lives being possible hunchbacks
    - a fellow person with scoliosis.

      Mikayla McCraw Do you think wearing your school bag on one side started your scoliosis?

      @@Hisham23633 Its a myth, my parents thought that too, the main type of scoliosis is called idiopathic scoliosis, and the reason is unknown

    Wonderful talk! I can definitely relate with the joy of being told that you don't have to wear the brace anymore

      I cried throughout the whole thing. Each and every step happened to me and now I can never go back to belly dancing. 😭😭

      It has nothing to do with the way you walk or sit or your school bag
