Honestly these are good for those with scoliosis regardless of spinal fusion. I have all these items and they are extremely helpful. I have moderate Dextroscoliosis and also have to wear Braces on a part time basis. Another item I would suggest to people is a toilet aid. As embarrassing as it is, it's better than ruining your knickers because you couldn't quite reach to wipe yourself fully.
Shoehorn! 🥳 Who uses a shoehorn?? Grampa’s! lol 😘 I love your fresh honesty about using the tools that will help. This is great info as I start prepping for long fusion. TY!🙏🏻❤️🌿
What levels are you fused? I am fused from the T10 to the S1. My doctor said we pivot from our hips, not our waists. I rarely buy shoes that tie, too hard. But my knees are bad now and so the right shoe helps for a while until my body makes them turn wrong...I am 66 and have had 3 surgeries. 2000, 2012, and again in 2013 since the 2012 surgery failed. I have pick-up sticks all over the house. Particularly in my sewing room.
Hi -I’ll be 68 in a couple weeks & will have “long” spinal fusion surgeries in a few months to address my severe C curve. I’m working on acceptance, & getting out of the self-loathing, shame, & fear. I cant continue to live like this-And Thank you All, especially Louise, for your advice & sharing!🌿

I don't understand meaning after you have held you still use all those items?
