Click for larger imageClick for larger imageSince a lot of people didnt know what a scoliosis was and people told us a lot about other injuries like fractures and shit but never talked about a scoliosis I decided to post this! I was born with a really abd scoliosis and it was only diagnoced at the age of 16 thats why the doctors couldnt do anything about it! I broke several bones in my spine with ski accidents and car accidents aswell I got blood drained from my back and I feel constant pain! Its a really shitty desease! I can be cured but with a big surjery and you have to stay in a wheel chair for a while and I really dont want to ! thats why I got tatooed on my back!

That sucks. Sorry to hear that.  Our school district does scoliosis checks once a year.  First time I had one was in 7th grade, might have had one in elementary school, but I do not know.  Glad you are still able to ski though.

i have scoliosis, not the disease but just the physical part. as in my back is nice and fucked up with a pretty curve and non matching hips. the doctors told me it was like 2 degrees away from being technically operable so i have to have a curve in my spine the rest of mah life

wouldnt it be worth to spend some time in a wheelchair if then you were able to live without constant pain in your back?

Damn, I must be doing it wrong :( I smoke every day, but if you say this card helps I'll have to get one, maybe you get higher :)

oh and bummer about your back, I can relate. Mines all fucked from a car accident, needs constant adjustment from a chiropractor, like weekly or I feel all shitty. And not in a good way.

my 6 foot 9 friend has bad scoliosis, hes 17 they figured out last year, he calls it old man disease because somtimes it hurts so he walks like an old man, it is a shitty disease though, he cant run good, and his back kills after skiing, but it doesnt slow him down

She was sharing her story...  Its the same thing as people posting how they got caught by the cops or what ever.  Its NSG it doesnt matter, you talk about what ever you want.

 And you spelled your own disorder wrong, Thalassemia Minor.  http://www.101healthsolution.com/video/thalassemia-minor/
That's if you have that.

Its really a commun desease in fact a lot of people have it! It depends only on the degree if its operable or not and if you do get operate theres always complications and stuff since its YOUR SPINE! It hurts most of the time like everyday but I can live with it!

Thats a little bit of a stupid question! I got diagnosted and I have to think if I wanna get a surgery or not! Of course I see someone ! I see doctors and a chiropractor every month and they give me pain killers for when it hurts the most! But chiripractors or doctors cant change the way ur body is shaped , they can help ease the pain but thats it!

maybe you're seeing the wrong chiropractor. when i was like 13 doctors told me that i was gonna have scoliosis, i went to a chiropractor and got my back cracked 3 times a week for a month, and then less and less over the course of 2 years and now i'm pretty straight.

Maybe you didnt read the thread ? I got diagnosted at 16 ! My back was already formed and the doctors couldnt do anything about it. I see a chiropractor but cracking ur back doesnt make it straighter , it just ease the pain.

didn't you say you can get surgery?

i can't come up with a good reason why you don't just get it done.

I have to agree with him. If you're in that much pain just get it done. A couple months in a wheelchair is not as bad as a whole life full of pain right?

Well first of all since its a spine surgery for a scoliosis and that im not about to die it takes a long time to have an appointment at the hospital because theres many cases that go first. Second of all if I get the surgery I will be stuck in a wheel chair for a while and wont be able to walk for a long time and also wont be able to have sex and all of that ! meaning I wont be able to ski, skateboard or do any sports of this kind for over 2 years !

2 things;

in america you wouldnt have to wait, just saying, socialism sucks, whatever.

also, this is what i don't like about how your posting about this, if i could have surgery that made my arm work, or made my blood even sorta normal, id be all over that shit.
when theirs a solution right in front of you, and you don't take it, then i've got absolutely no sympathy.

sorry.

no i don't have scoliosis, but..

i can't move my hand.

if i were to get hit in the stomach, id probably die.

all im saying is that you can get your scoliosis fixed, so you shouldn't complain about it.
