I wish I was able to watch this before my surgery. All the videos I watched were so depressing and just scared me even more
i hope you feel better now 🧡
Even me
same if you’ve got it pls tell me how it goes bc i’ve only had one and it was just inserting rods but i’m gonna have the fusion this year. 💔💔
Same
I’ve had 3 scoliosis surgeries and was told I might never walk again. I ended up being a cheerleader and dancer and was voted most popular in school.
Don’t let it depress you. People who go through a lot in life always end up better because of it. Even if they don’t realize this at the time. They’re usually more empathetic, kinder, deeper, etc. You can also use what you’ve been through to get out of Jury Duty for life. Just say it hurts way too much to sit for so long. Which for me it really does. If we have to go through this, we might as well get good things out of it! 😉
Thank you for sharing your testimony.
The most beautiful people seem to get scoliosis.
Awwww ❤️. Your comment made me instantly cry. I have 7 fused vertebrae and will have two more fused in a second surgery. Thanks for the lovely remark ☺️. It’s hard to feel beautiful with a deformed torso 😉😝🙃.
@@Holly-Berry hello
@@Holly-Berry Did you have the operation?
@@abrahamafram3378 - thanks for your interest 🤗. I’ve had two corrective scoliosis surgeries and will have a third. The first one corrected my 48 degree curve (50 degrees is severe) down to 25 degrees. My second surgery which I just had 4 weeks ago straightened my curve even more. My surgeon rebroke my mass bone fusion from the first surgery for further correction. Not sure what degree I am now. I woke up from my first surgery two inches taller and grew one inch with this most recent surgery. Growth usually happens gradually so it’s weird that the bathroom sink suddenly feels lower. Do you have scoliosis? It’s more common in women.
@@Holly-Berry
No, I do not have it, praise be to God, but the daughter of my mother's friend suffers from it and the reason is because her mother had an x-ray and did not know that she was pregnant. This affected the pregnancy and caused her scoliosis and now they are residing in Sweden
Anyone who had scoliosis surgery can achieve anything despite having the surgery ❤️🙏😘

Hi I’m Chloe and exactly one week ago I had this surgery and I love you so much for saying this 🥰😘
How much was it
@@ChloeHarrison08 after one week you are commenting on youtube! 😱
Aren't you in pain?
I am going to get the surgery to fix my 52 degree curve next week😖
Worried
Have you had this surgery?
Thank you for this video! I really needed to hear it❤️
Thank you, I really needed this. My daughter was recently diagnosed and her back looks the same as yours did. Waiting on our doctor to get back to see what our options are. I am going to show this to my daughter so she will feel more positive. ❤❤
I became a chronic pain patient after my first scolioses surgery. My pain got wayyy worse. After 5 years of recovering, 3 surgeries, literally all the possible scans and meds, and seeing all the doctors l possibly could, turned out l had surgery in the wrong time. I was facing a lot of issues at that time that caused me to get into survival mode, l lost the connection with my body. Which caused that my brain couldn’t take the pain it caused. My brain was like, shooked. So after it kept sending heavy pain signals to my back. The pain you’d feel around 3 months after the surgery, stayed. It wouldn’t get better. Now I’d like to reassure that my case is absolutely not average. But l would like to let you know that if you are in survival mode, if you have crises going on in your life, don’t be like me immediately saying yes l want this big surgery as soon as possible. If it’s possible to wait until you’re waters are more safe and steady, consider it.
Very True state of mind is highly important 😘me too have scoliosis severe one more than 40degrees Without operation practicing yoga every day as I don't quite belive in surgery in some patients could be.even worse.I was.realy and honestly.said by the.doctor...God bless you wish you love and lot of strenght 😘
Wow
U r an inspiration. After surgery did u had paralysis or infection
My daughter braced, awaiting surgery; myself, braced back in the day and now about to get surgery too. It’s really tough having both of us go through this at the same time.
This is the same for me , on the waiting list
I just turned 18 a couple of months ago not sure when I will have surgery but this girl inspired me to get because my back looks similar to hers before surgery god bless her
same, im sure my curve is milder however i still want surgery
@@Cxoxo4 i cant stand up like when im in public in 1 spot for like more than 20 mins without needing to take a seat im actually getting insurance in a couple weeks waiting for the cards to come in the mail then making a doctors appointment cuz i gotta get a job
@@Cxoxo4 we also believe my cause was i was born clubbed foot from birth and had my feet fixed by the time i was in 5th grade. once i got to high school and hit a my growth spurt we think thats the direct cause because 1 leg is slightly shorter than the other when i make myself stand directly straight up so yeah i hate my life rn
@@mc_mj1330 i think mine might be caused by the same reason one of my is shorter than the other too. and i know how you feel. i have this uncomfortable feeling in my body every single second of the day that wont go away because of it. i can just feel that my body is not aligned.
Scars are cool nowadays. Battle wounds.
I’m going to get my sugery in about 2 months I hope everything goes well
God this was inspiring, im gonna do it, im gonna get the surgery
good luck!!!
I'm so happy it worked out for u hun.❤ my surgery didn't go as well. We had the same surgery. Mine was done in 2001
What happen and how old are u?
@@zerahedrosa9707 hello. We still don't know what happened to cause me to have scoliosis. However I had surgery done when I was 15 now I'm 32. I still struggle. I can't work and keep getting denied for any kind of help. I'm in constant pain. My doctor who did my surgery won't even see me. Now my bones are breaking down. Pray for me
Where did you have your surgery?
@@trackstar7729 hello. At richland hospital. In columbia south Carolina.
@@nicolepugh4765 ok. Sorry that happened to you. Prayers going up🙏🏾

@@younghyun6181 hello my name is Dani call my whatsapp
Hi
I had my surgery freshman year in high school
I’m 28 now and I’ve had my implants longer then I’ve had a body without them
I felt this way for so long and if you disagree with what I say I understand every situation is different but honestly I felt pain for so long I thought it was the surgery and and something had gone wrong or the scoliosis was worsening but after doctor visit and X-ray and mri’s i came to this conclusion
Scoliosis post surgery pain is practically like depression
You have to fight it’s control on you every day
It’s there when you wake up
When you go to sleep
Every moment it’s there grinding you down
And it has to be fought in the same way you’d fight depression or anxiety
You can’t let it beat you and you have to push on with it
And eventually
As unbelievable as it sounds
It gets tolerable
It will never go away
Everyone who looks at these videos who’s had the surgery i here to understand there not alone
The pain and feeling of this railroad track attached to are spines won’t go away
But if we keep up our exercise and do what we can to stay positive
We can beat this
Not cure
But overcome
I will never be free of it but I will not be controlled
I know your post was a long time ago but I help
And I’m open to further discussion of this
What do the doctors say?
@@juvenciozavala1998 hello. Reading this really helped me and made me smile. It feels great to know ur not alone.
@@a.g.4238 pain medication work out as much as possible. I'm changing my diet to lose more weight because I feel that would help. But other than that there is nothing that can me done. I has bone rubbing against bone now in certain place and pain in full spin all the way to the left knee
Thanks for sharing this video 😉. Did u have to purchase any special equipments or things to make it comfortable when coming home from hospital.
Did u have to arrange an external Physiotherapy after discharged from hospital to build up ur strength esp jogging or running or walking at a normal pace?
Did you have breathing problems with the curve like that?
mine is similar to that and no everything is really normal for the most part other than walking for a long time and stand in 1 place for extended periods of time
So getting spinal fusion surgery means you have to have the metal rods in your spine for life ?
Yes
Can anyone let me know what does this word - fusion - mean? I'm not English speaker and don't get it.
Turn two things, into one thing. Combine
