Learn all about what Children's Hospital Colorado surgeons do during Scoliosis surgery to help straighten out spines and prevent the Scoliosis from returning.
Anyone who is scared. I had mine in 2005,I was 15. I just want to say take your time because alot of videos,doctors & nurses say " you'll be back in no time!". I just want to say YOU'LL BE BETTER IN YOUR TIME. Its been over 10 years for me. Physically and psychologically I feel good. Im able to do many sports and activities. But i did it in my time. Be gentle & kind to yourself you're going to make it! Jesus loves you =)
Getting my surgery tomorrow, wish me luck! edit: sorry for not replying to any of the replies under this lol, youtube never notified me that people replied! The surgery went really well! since I didn't follow through with my physical therapy like I should've, I still have pretty bad back pain, but otherwise the surgery was very successful! thank you all for asking how I'm doing :)
My daughter had it done at Rainbow babies and Children’s Hospital and it couldn’t have gone better and is doing very well a few years later. Don’t be afraid, just have faith. My neighbors girl had it done too and doing fine too.
LILKittyKilhhzz XD I said that a month ago. I had a growth spurt and my shoulder were so uneven. We we t to the doctor and I have surgery tomorrow. I am terrified
i always ask myself "why me?" but I guess that this is my destiny. It is a risk to take surgery but everyday we take risks. For example , when you go to school/work with a car/bus , the bus or car could crash. When you go shopping you might be robbed. But we still do it. I hope I don't have to do surgery but if I have to I will because my back won't get any better.
I have scoliosis, uneven hips, bad posture (already fixed it but still), crooked teeth, gynecomastia, low vision and social anxiety. I'm surprised I'm not crippled yet, destiny gives me one hell of a garbage genetics and body. I bet I gonna gets depression in the next 5 years.
i'm suffering from this right now and i am afraid of any surgery right now while watching your video i am feeling pain in my back. You are truly a brave girl.
Rukhsar zakria i had my surgery 1 year and about 10 months ago...tbh i am alot straighter and i dont think anyone should be scared...all u do is fall asleep and wake up fixed...stay at the hospital for about a week with free food....then you go home and recover fast...i was able to run about 6 weeks later...im athletic soo....
I am 52 and had this surgery when I was 20. I wore a brace for 10 years before I finally had surgery. I had a double curve and they only fused the top curve. They were hoping the bottom one would straighten out, but it didn't and had to redo it and fuse the entire thing. Although it was tough at the time, it was well worth it. Shriners Hospital did mine, and I am happy with the outcome. I do not have back pain from it, I can pretty much do ANYTHING I want, I do not have limitations from it and as long as you continue to do exercises and take care of yourself - this won't be an issue. Most people are very surprised to hear I have metal rods in my back. I did a ropes course 2 years ago and was hanging 40 feet in the air. I did better than most people my age, so this will only be as limiting as you make it.
Me too when i was 14 years old but im worried about those things that help n support spinal to becum straight ... Does those things expired n needed to removed n re put another??? I was young i coundnot ask my doctor but im stil ok.... Does things makes people short in height ????
to everyone who is about to undergo this surgery, i had mine last november and im already back doing things. as long as you’re a healthy and fit person and you’re willing to push yourself (not too hard of course) i truly believe you’ll be just fine. i got off my meds as soon as possible so i could recover myself and i went on short walks every day until i could increase the distance. i did different stretches every day as well. doing all these things in moderation will help get you back on track. best of luck to everyone💕
Hello, I apologize, I know this comment was 8mo but if you see this I have a question, if you don't mind me asking. This video was done 8yrs ago and alot of comments here are also made years ago. I heard most scoliosis surgery don't require a rod put in place anymore nor do they basically make a long cut (for lack of a better word) down your back anymore. I've heard and read it's more like they now fuse the bones together and make minimal incisions. I'm basically trying to ask if this is true, at least in your situation. Again I apologize for asking..
I had this operation when I just turned 14. Now I am 31 and I have just recently learned to accept that my spine will never be as it was. It is simply not true that you can just make a huge part of a person's spine immobile and then they will go back to "normal" afterward - it wasn't true for me anyway. I still love dancing, but I can't move freely so of course, it's not the same experience - even sex isn't the same experience - a flexible spine gives the body more freedom to be playful and feel sexy - I had no pain before the operation - my pain started after the operation. I actually went to a kind of chiro practitioner who could manipulate my spine back to its healthy position (before the operation) but my family couldn't afford the sessions so I stopped. It is what it is, and of course, there are people in this world living with much worse handicaps than an unflexible spine! I am very thankful for my life and all the body parts that still function perfectly
I have a 67-degree curve and I'm 17. I want to find other ways of fixing my scoliosis before I avert to scoliosis surgery. I was wondering if you have any tips or anything you wish you did before or after you got the surgery. I want to join the National Guard and be a Firefighter but both require me to be physically healthy, I cannot join either of those if I don't get my scoliosis fixed. Anything is helpful! Thank you.
I am 24 years old and I want to have the surgery now do u think its possible to have surgery in such kind of age ? The doctors told me we will discuss and tell you...and I'm waiting them but I want to ask someone who is experiencing the surgery
thank you for sharing :'( ,, i curently go for treatments but kinda hate it and feel useless bcs i can't see any changes. i thought surgery might be better but then found many comments saying its hurt. i guess i'll prefer treatments
Had this surgery from this hospital performed by dr. garg on november 24th 2015. im more then grateful i got it. and now im even more honored to be nominated for one of the hospitals leaders. blessing every day i have these rods. ❤️🙏🏻
My granddaughter has an 80 0/0 spine scoliosis. She sees her consoltant this December. She is only 4 1/2 😞. Your encouragements have made me feel better. Thank you . God bless.
My 3 year old brother gets operations every 6 months for his doctors to see if his back is OK. Massive thank you to all the surgeons at Temple Street Children's University Hospital in Dublin, Ireland, for taking amazing care for my brother, and hundreds of more children. I recommend this hospital for Irish kids with scoliosis.
My son had this twice to correct scoliosis caused by missing half of his t12 vertebrae. The first surgery was immediately a problem. We were under the impression that he was going to be "straightened up" as he had a 42° curve. Instead, they fused it at that angle and used 2 short rods instead of the long ones that they said they were going to use. Less than a year later, the top of the top rod was so close to coming through the skin that we could read the writing on the end of it! Ended up at a different hospital and 18 hrs later, he had 2 26inch rods and 20+ screws. Because of the severity of the damage the first surgery caused, he is now in constant pain. It's been 13 yrs ago, and at 26 yrs old, he is unable to work, attend college, and has few friends because they tend to think he's not actually in pain. I can guarantee you that he is. There was a girl who was getting the same surgery at the same time and place as his first surgery and we learned that she also has had problems. Keep in mind, though, his scoliosis wasn't just a curve- he is missing half of a vertebrae. Shriners was where the first one was done. I will never ever recommend them.
I had this surgery. (This is only my personal experience the girl who was next to me had hers done and she was out of the hospital within 3 days.) but as soon as I had my surgery, I was waking up from the anaesthetic, my body went into fight or flight and I ended up punching the surgeon in the face Lol. I apologised afterwards. But fast forward about 3 months (now) me and my Mum noticed that my pain wasn’t getting any better. So we went back for a consultation and It turns out that they think that either them or I (when I woke up and was rolling around the hospital bed) had somehow pierced a nerve with one of the screw things. But I am on gabapentin. Which pretty much completely gets rid of the nerve pain so it’s all good now. I have a CT scan in a few days to see what can be done. My scar is my most favourite thing on my body I love it so much it is amazing!
@@TheInspiredPlanet I had the surgery when I was 11 almost 12. And I had to have surgery on my knee to stop the growth in one of my legs. Do you know if scoliosis had to do with it
I just had surgery for my scoliosis just a little over 2 months ago. My curve was originally 108 degrees before surgery but then after my degree was 20 degrees. I’m gonna be honest here. The first weeks are horrible. Your gonna feel horrible and your just going to wish it never happened. Yes the surgery hurts after ward and you aren’t going to be able to move by yourself and you aren’t gonna be comfortable. The doctors are going to tell you what you can and can’t do, if not just ask. And no the rod isn’t going to snap if you get a medal one. I got a medal one and it’s fine you just won’t even be able to physically bend your spine so no back bends. It’s gonna hurt like HELL the 1st week but it’s going to get better I promise :) it’s going to be worth it! I got to get out of school for like 2 whole months lol

Thank god i had my surgery from a charity, and that included my biological parents loosing my custody for mentally abusing me during my 13 years sraight, the whole process was though, took 2 years to complete, now i got new parents and a fully recovered back, what a win.
I love how she made this sound so wonderful I had this surgery two years ago and I’m still and pain and it’s awful do everything you can not to get this surgery please
Don't do it. I had the surgery when I was 11 and I'm 21. Every day is psychological torture. It's like missing a limb. Not being able to bend your spine is the most unnatural feeling ever. It's a failure of modern medicine that we haven't worked out a way to correct the spine without sacrificing mobility
@@madewhole-ev4uy if you're a child and your parents have good insurance it''ll probably be completely covered. Not sure if you live in the U.S so I don't know if it'll be the same for you. I had this surgery when i was 14 and my insurance paid for all of it. It also depends if it's for cosmetic reasons or if your doctor says its emergent for your health.
@Whatshesaid can you please help me? I need you.! I am 17 mine i have scoliosis mine is 42 degree... You did your surgery did you get well? I mean better than before(before surgery) or still same iam very scared of this surgery.. I don't know what to do? - choose surgery or - stay that way.. So if i do surgery is it helpful or not.. What should I do? Answer please!
I had this surgery 12 months ago exactly today. I was 16 and pretty much about 5-6 months after my surgery I started doing light weights and playing basketball at school which probably wasn’t a smart thing to do, but now it’s been a year and I’m 6’2 and can dunk and I’ve been doing a lot heavier weights. I’ve had 0 problems besides at the start I couldn’t bend over to tie my own shoes 😧. No one notices I’ve had surgery unless I show them my scar and I’ve had no back pain since the surgery. Btw the I think the best thing I did was getting back into calisthenics around the 6 month mark, just like pull ups and dips and I feel like that actually helped me heal and get more flexibility and slowly ease my body back into its old self
I’m lowkey scared if I get paralyzed or if my back has even worse pain (if I don’t get paralyzed) after the surgery. Will I be able to play sports after that? Will I be able to jump? Will I be able to land on solid ground without breaking my back? Will I be able to run? Will I be able to move fast?, pick up heavy stuff?, or even lay down on my stomach when I sleep?. I’ll update it in about 3-5 months after my surgery.
if u what some answers: after my surgery, like two weeks, the first thing when i got home was lightly kick around a soccer ball through the house in six months i could do anything it hurt very occasionally but it’s not as fragile as it seems u will be able to do all of those things and there is a very low possibility that u will be paralyzed good luck , tell us how it went!
I had surgery, and the only bad part about the aftermath is the first 2 weeks in the hospital or at home. You're basically in bed sleeping most of the time, practicing to move around, and trying to heal. Doing physical therapy is the way to go afterwards, so don't worry. Also, you WILL get used to it. The pain fades away later, but you will time to time feel pinches on your back, the screws, when it gets cold or if you're in a bad sitting position(that's what I feel most of the time anyways). To make it easier to heal, practice posture, do physical therapy, and get well!
Cookies and Milk hi, how long did the surgery take? I haven’t been diagnosed with it yet but I can feel symptoms.. will find out once my GP refers me for an X-ray
@@theBelemaKalio we have medical insurance. Not the best insurance but it covered the cost of my surgery completely! Got it done at Shriners, one of the best places to go for this procedure
I had severe scoliosis (and 82 degree bend) And my spine was collapsing FAST I had my surgery on June 8th (yes I’m a kid) My life is so much better but this is just the beginning of the recovery, soon I’ll feel like a different person!
i had it done to me when i was 17 now im 26 i can tell you looking back at it now it was the best thing i could of done for myself it was a painful process and then the six month struggle of learning everything all over again such as doing things on my own like walking and getting out of bed on my own but its better not doing the surgery and becoming a quadriplegic from the neck down for the rest of my life
im 13 and going to have the surgery in 6 moths but i will be takeing my irish gcse ate the same time a girl in my year had it but she has a relly bad point of veiw on it and pretends it never happent to her so im pretty in the dark do you have any tips on coping
+CLASH WITH RYAN the only down sides from my experiences of it is the slow recouping process that comes after the surgery sleepless nights due to intense consistent pain and having to get help from a loved one going to the bathroom in the middle of the night it drove me to the point of thought of suicide the pain was so bad constantly waking up in the middle of the night from an unbearable pain for six months straight it will push you to and past your limits if you can take pain them kudos to you and the second thing for me is I'll never get to play football which i was really good at but steel rods took it out of my life forever now the upside is i can still walk better than i have before im a little more straighter than i was not slunched over like i was before
+Derbhilé Browne hey bud the only thing i can tell you is keep your head up it will help you in the long run but after surgery just becareful in everything you do are you having it done on your neck
I wish this was a thing when I was younger, my Scoliosis is bad. When at rest I lean to the right and the worst part is I never noticed till people kept asking why I lean.
Hey I need some help.my son is going to have his surgery next month.can u explain to me the process and will the scoliosis be permanently solved?.can he continue playing football afterwards?
About 4-5 months ago my doctor said that I will probably not grow too much more but he could still give me a back brace and recommend me to a physical therapist, I did everything he told me at that time my spine was curved 19 degrees but now 4-5 months later it’s now at 26 degrees, he told me it wouldn’t get this bad or progress this quickly but yet it did. Even though I did everything it sadly didn’t help at all just to anyone else who has scoliosis I hope the best for you and hope that your spine will not get worse in such a short amount of time
I’m having mine in just over a week and I’m kinda scared but this helped a little bit I now know it’s more common and if anyone has anything they could tell me about it to re ashore me that would be nice
I had the same as well from the top to the bottom of my back. My back was like a S shape they remove my right side because it was sticking out they put rod and pins in I got scoliosis I had my back done when I was 11 years old on my mum and dad's anniversary I was nearly 12 years old I was brave and I was asleep
I'm going to have surgery I'm a boxer and I love weight lifting and I feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger when I'm in the gym and feel like a eagle that never lands when I come out I dont go to sleep until 4 in the morning sometimes later because I can't get comfy anyone who reading this your not along be strong don't be afraid to have surgery
I Have a pretty advanced scoliosis, But since my mom doesnt want me to get surgery, I go to a chiropractor (he's an amazing guy) And i'm also getting a brace! Although my scoliosis is in a shape of an "s" But my body and my back is straight
I had to wear a hack brace for two years. At first 16 hours a day. But it got worse so I had to wear it 18 hours a day, them 24 hours except when I shower. Then I had surgery at age 11 (almost 12) then I was in the hospital for 4 days then got to go home and then all the medicine I was on had caused me to stay home for a while because of the type of medicine. Even though I took medicine it still hurt. It's been almost 2 years and I still have pain, not that much but sometimes it hurts if I stand for a long time. I still try to stand up so I can get use to it. My doctor said if I have pain when I get older in my lower back they will do surgery again to help it. 🤪 Then I also had to have knee surgery because my left leg is longer then my right, so they had to stop the growth. I had that knee surgery a year ago. I have screws in my back and knee lol. If anyone's scared the pain normally last only for two weeks and you will get some pain after but sometimes I barely notice sometimes 😬 but everything will be okay, God is there for you.
Surgery always should be the last option. If it's Functional Scoliosis, it is possible that it could be aligned with proper exercises, stretches, massages and maybe other methods.
Hope that this channel can help my Girl Friend. She has scoliosis and i want her to have this kind of surgery. We need funds and hoping that random good people reading this could help. Thank You
I saw a live surgery video somewhere on the internet and also got the chance to see how the surgeon adds the white material to help maintain the straightened spine. I giggled because it's like adding salt or sugar to some meat lol. If I will have the chance to have a surgery sooner or later, I would wonder how would that feel once the surgeon will apply it in my spine.
It seems really scary and I will go to the doctor to get my spine checked cause it kinda feels painful when I'm slouching and I'm already over assuming but I'm just so nervous
That's what I was thinking before, But in my opinion It's not going to worst after Surgery, My surgeon motivate me a lot, My surgery is going to be on May 27 , Kinda Nervous a little bit
I need to undergo this surgery, but I keep postponing it. Since the thoracic spine is the main issue, I don't need to have the lumbar spine fused. However, I'm scared that I might feel something odd around the screws
Inshallah my back dodsnt get to 30 degrees but last time i went to my doctors they said it was at 28 degrees. But i have a question, after the surgery will i get back pain? I see people have back pain after surgery
Is it affect the lower part? I mean since i had the accident and did a surgery in my spinal i couln't move my feet it was swollen for day 1 -2 weeks now it back in same size but i still have the numbness and i couldnt still not move my both legs.. im afraid i couldnt walk again 😔 but still believing i can im having my pychotheraphy tom.since i will go out of the hospital going directly on the therapy center to focus on my legs.
Either way you’re really toasted if you don’t get the surgery or not. It doesn’t really matter. If you didn’t take the surgery, the curve would’ve progressed anyway and by the age of 30 you’ll probably be faced with a depressing amount of back pain causes from the scoliosis. I wholeheartedly believe that scoliosis is not gonna fix and stabilize itself once you’re out of puberty.
My scoliosis now is getting worst. My back is really turning in the right side. Im 18 yrs old now and my scoliosis starts when im 10 yrs old. All i pray until now is to have a surgery because i want to be normal. 😭
Cl Kookie you already are normal!! That’s what I thought too before my surgery, but I got way more confident afterwards because I felt a lot better in my own body! I’m praying with you!
I have a 45 degree in my upper spine and a 35 ish in my lower upper going to riggt side 35 left...i still workout and im really active, no backpain, but idk if i need it. already had surgery but it didnt fix it, wasn’t anything close to like this though
I have scoliosis and a upper frenulum I need a brace for my scoliosis and surgery plus braces for my frenulum I’m scared that I won’t look normal ever...
I just done surgery 2 weeks ago and I proise it's not that scary, the pain is bearable (mostly bc of pills they give you) and it will be so worth it to finally have a normal life even though it will take a bit of time
my surgery date is january 5th im really scared, im 14 and have 2 curves, they are only doing the top curve because if they do both its a bigger risk :(
I'm getting mine in January 2023. Really the only thing I'm scared about is getting my blood drawn. I hate needles. Other than that, I'm not too nervous. Honestly, I just want my scoliosis to get better, I am absolutely sick of it.
Hey guys, my scoliosis is getting bad and I think I might have to get surgery. Currently im 18 years old, so I will keep you guys updated on the journey if I do get it ❤
So what happens if you just take the rods out without the bone grafts? like teeth braces, we just put them in, adjust them and take them out. Will it go back even if you had the rods in there for say 2 years?
It would require another surgery, and it would be awful. They would have to get through years of recovery, which would do more harm than good. It's weird thinking about having, but other than that, you'd have no idea they're there.
just skimming thru all the videos cause ive had scoliosis since i was 13-14 and my 1st surgery didnt work (tether) now im 22 looking to do a spinal fusion. just want to put this all behind me now so i can move on (: 45 top 32 bottom i dont know the exact terminology
Getting this surgery dine in a little over a week, had surgery last yesr for tethered spinal cord (all the way up) My scoliosis is over 50 degrees (not to 60) and I'm afraid that this will hurt more than the last. I hope this will help my back pain and fix my tilted pelvis.
@@TofiRUclips Im recovering from the surgery right now, and i dont lie lol. It dosent hurt ALOT after the surgery it just feels like u cut urslef along ur back a bit. Sure, a couple days after the surgery it hurts quite a bit and because of all the painkillers they give you (hence why it dosent hurt when you wake up) in my experience, you do feel a lil sick.. but you recover really quick! Its only been almost a month after my surgery and i can walk around almost fine (though my centre of gravity goes everywhere) and i honestly feel way better than before the surgery! (Also you get to skip school for a while uwu) Hope this helped, Good luck!
Bro I feel like crying. I’m 18 and the doctor just told me I have scoliosis. I didn’t know it was serious until my older cousin told me how dangerous it was and now I feel like crying 😭
don't worry it is not dangerous and having a scoliosis doesn't mean that you'll have to do a surgery. This surgery is only when your back problems are really hard but I think that if you only discovered yours at 18 they are probably not that bad
I never thought i would have to watch these videos.😭

Hello, I apologize, I know this comment was 8mo but if you see this I have a question, if you don't mind me asking. This video was done 8yrs ago and alot of comments here are also made years ago. I heard most scoliosis surgery don't require a rod put in place anymore nor do they basically make a long cut (for lack of a better word) down your back anymore. I've heard and read it's more like they now fuse the bones together and make minimal incisions. I'm basically trying to ask if this is true, at least in your situation. Again I apologize for asking..
I had this operation when I just turned 14. Now I am 31 and I have just recently learned to accept that my spine will never be as it was. It is simply not true that you can just make a huge part of a person's spine immobile and then they will go back to "normal" afterward - it wasn't true for me anyway. I still love dancing, but I can't move freely so of course, it's not the same experience - even sex isn't the same experience - a flexible spine gives the body more freedom to be playful and feel sexy - I had no pain before the operation - my pain started after the operation. I actually went to a kind of chiro practitioner who could manipulate my spine back to its healthy position (before the operation) but my family couldn't afford the sessions so I stopped. It is what it is, and of course, there are people in this world living with much worse handicaps than an unflexible spine! I am very thankful for my life and all the body parts that still function perfectly
I have a 67-degree curve and I'm 17. I want to find other ways of fixing my scoliosis before I avert to scoliosis surgery. I was wondering if you have any tips or anything you wish you did before or after you got the surgery. I want to join the National Guard and be a Firefighter but both require me to be physically healthy, I cannot join either of those if I don't get my scoliosis fixed. Anything is helpful! Thank you.
@@romelol0 So how did it go?
I am 24 years old and I want to have the surgery now do u think its possible to have surgery in such kind of age ? The doctors told me we will discuss and tell you...and I'm waiting them but I want to ask someone who is experiencing the surgery
thank you for sharing :'( ,, i curently go for treatments but kinda hate it and feel useless bcs i can't see any changes. i thought surgery might be better but then found many comments saying its hurt. i guess i'll prefer treatments
Do u have migraines I have it 24 hours
Had this surgery from this hospital performed by dr. garg on november 24th 2015. im more then grateful i got it. and now im even more honored to be nominated for one of the hospitals leaders. blessing every day i have these rods. ❤️🙏🏻
Meghan Lee is it good? I am scared I am getting mine soon
Meghan Lee can u tell me how it went for you?
Rebecca Johnson awe that is a good idea thanks! 😄
I have scoliosis but only get a bit of treatment with a bench. Did you notice a gain in height after your surgery?
yes, i was originally around 5'1 before the surgery and after i was around 5'4. and now in 2017 i am about 5'7 : )
My granddaughter has an 80 0/0 spine scoliosis. She sees her consoltant this December. She is only 4 1/2 😞. Your encouragements have made me feel better. Thank you . God bless.
My 3 year old brother gets operations every 6 months for his doctors to see if his back is OK.
Massive thank you to all the surgeons at Temple Street Children's University Hospital in Dublin, Ireland, for taking amazing care for my brother, and hundreds of more children.
I recommend this hospital for Irish kids with scoliosis.
I am now getting my surgey but thanks to these comments I am feeling much better about getting this surgery thank you thank you:)
My son had this twice to correct scoliosis caused by missing half of his t12 vertebrae. The first surgery was immediately a problem. We were under the impression that he was going to be "straightened up" as he had a 42° curve. Instead, they fused it at that angle and used 2 short rods instead of the long ones that they said they were going to use. Less than a year later, the top of the top rod was so close to coming through the skin that we could read the writing on the end of it! Ended up at a different hospital and 18 hrs later, he had 2 26inch rods and 20+ screws. Because of the severity of the damage the first surgery caused, he is now in constant pain. It's been 13 yrs ago, and at 26 yrs old, he is unable to work, attend college, and has few friends because they tend to think he's not actually in pain. I can guarantee you that he is. There was a girl who was getting the same surgery at the same time and place as his first surgery and we learned that she also has had problems. Keep in mind, though, his scoliosis wasn't just a curve- he is missing half of a vertebrae. Shriners was where the first one was done. I will never ever recommend them.
It depends who does it and where you go to. I did mine a month ago and Glory be to God all is well. I feel amazing!
I had this surgery. (This is only my personal experience the girl who was next to me had hers done and she was out of the hospital within 3 days.) but as soon as I had my surgery, I was waking up from the anaesthetic, my body went into fight or flight and I ended up punching the surgeon in the face Lol. I apologised afterwards. But fast forward about 3 months (now) me and my Mum noticed that my pain wasn’t getting any better. So we went back for a consultation and It turns out that they think that either them or I (when I woke up and was rolling around the hospital bed) had somehow pierced a nerve with one of the screw things. But I am on gabapentin. Which pretty much completely gets rid of the nerve pain so it’s all good now. I have a CT scan in a few days to see what can be done. My scar is my most favourite thing on my body I love it so much it is amazing!
thank you so much for thsi video i’m about to have a surgery and i’m very nervous this calmed me. thank you
My spine hurts now
After surgery? Do you possiblly also have one leg longer than the other? Maybe you need orthotics??
@@TheInspiredPlanet I had the surgery when I was 11 almost 12. And I had to have surgery on my knee to stop the growth in one of my legs. Do you know if scoliosis had to do with it
mine hurts everyday 😎
This video was very helpful thank you
I just had surgery for my scoliosis just a little over 2 months ago. My curve was originally 108 degrees before surgery but then after my degree was 20 degrees.
I’m gonna be honest here.
The first weeks are horrible. Your gonna feel horrible and your just going to wish it never happened. Yes the surgery hurts after ward and you aren’t going to be able to move by yourself and you aren’t gonna be comfortable. The doctors are going to tell you what you can and can’t do, if not just ask. And no the rod isn’t going to snap if you get a medal one. I got a medal one and it’s fine you just won’t even be able to physically bend your spine so no back bends. It’s gonna hurt like HELL the 1st week but it’s going to get better I promise :) it’s going to be worth it!
I got to get out of school for like 2 whole months lol
I have a 67-degree curve and I'm 17. I want to find other ways of fixing my scoliosis before I avert to scoliosis surgery.

romelo There is a new tethering method. I never fully looked into it. I got my surgery done last month.
All I got from that was no School for two whole Months lol. But seriously I'm happy for you.
I have a 28 degree curve so my scoliosis is not super serious yet, thankfully. 😂😂
What a flashback! I had this surgery in June 2011 when I was 21, and my brother had it as well in June 2006 when he was 18.
Thank god i had my surgery from a charity, and that included my biological parents loosing my custody for mentally abusing me during my 13 years sraight, the whole process was though, took 2 years to complete, now i got new parents and a fully recovered back, what a win.
I love how she made this sound so wonderful I had this surgery two years ago and I’m still and pain and it’s awful do everything you can not to get this surgery please
Emily Valentino this surgery is different for everyone I have no pain at all and I had my a while ago
i’m very late to reply but ru ok now? i hope u are
How are you now 😮
Everyone is different, you shouldn’t say things like this to scare people lol
Get better Chloe I always thought you were a special person And I love your personality 😁
Guys, it's normal to bave this. I have it and i'm a dancer. A lot of dancers have this so your not alone.
I'm a dancer too and I have severe scoliosis😭 I don't wanna get a surgery because I love dance and my back flexibility is my strongest part
Don't do it. I had the surgery when I was 11 and I'm 21. Every day is psychological torture. It's like missing a limb. Not being able to bend your spine is the most unnatural feeling ever. It's a failure of modern medicine that we haven't worked out a way to correct the spine without sacrificing mobility
I did the surgery a month ago and I can kinda bend my spine. It’s diffe for everyone I guess
You're overextending your back. Do male type of gymnastics to strengthen your back. Do pull ups, handstand push ups, etc.
You are flexible completly likr befoe is it
I had the surgery 1 month ago and it has been amazing ever since 💕💕💕
WhatSheSaid , how is it w your flexibility? like do u struggle with bending down and turning and twisting?
alyssa ㅤㅤ yeah. I'm not able to bend or twist for the first two - three months. Six months post surgery and I'll be able to do my normal activities
I wish I could do it but money isn't something my parents have
@@madewhole-ev4uy if you're a child and your parents have good insurance it''ll probably be completely covered. Not sure if you live in the U.S so I don't know if it'll be the same for you. I had this surgery when i was 14 and my insurance paid for all of it. It also depends if it's for cosmetic reasons or if your doctor says its emergent for your health.
@Whatshesaid can you please help me? I need you.!
I am 17 mine i have scoliosis mine is 42 degree... You did your surgery did you get well? I mean better than before(before surgery) or still same iam very scared of this surgery.. I don't know what to do? - choose surgery or - stay that way.. So if i do surgery is it helpful or not..
What should I do?
Answer please!
I had this surgery 12 months ago exactly today. I was 16 and pretty much about 5-6 months after my surgery I started doing light weights and playing basketball at school which probably wasn’t a smart thing to do, but now it’s been a year and I’m 6’2 and can dunk and I’ve been doing a lot heavier weights. I’ve had 0 problems besides at the start I couldn’t bend over to tie my own shoes 😧. No one notices I’ve had surgery unless I show them my scar and I’ve had no back pain since the surgery. Btw the I think the best thing I did was getting back into calisthenics around the 6 month mark, just like pull ups and dips and I feel like that actually helped me heal and get more flexibility and slowly ease my body back into its old self
Hi CrankyPurse66 did you grow after the surgery if did by how many centimeters and were u able to play basketball competitively
what about now? Did u able to bend your spine downward and take things from the floor????
I also done my surgery that's why
Are u able to bend ur spine ? After surgery like hyperextension or compression movements?
I’m lowkey scared if I get paralyzed or if my back has even worse pain (if I don’t get paralyzed) after the surgery. Will I be able to play sports after that? Will I be able to jump? Will I be able to land on solid ground without breaking my back? Will I be able to run? Will I be able to move fast?, pick up heavy stuff?, or even lay down on my stomach when I sleep?.
I’ll update it in about 3-5 months after my surgery.
if u what some answers:
after my surgery, like two weeks, the first thing when i got home was lightly kick around a soccer ball through the house in six months i could do anything it hurt very occasionally but it’s not as fragile as it seems u will be able to do all of those things and there is a very low possibility that u will be paralyzed
good luck , tell us how it went!
I had surgery, and the only bad part about the aftermath is the first 2 weeks in the hospital or at home. You're basically in bed sleeping most of the time, practicing to move around, and trying to heal. Doing physical therapy is the way to go afterwards, so don't worry. Also, you WILL get used to it. The pain fades away later, but you will time to time feel pinches on your back, the screws, when it gets cold or if you're in a bad sitting position(that's what I feel most of the time anyways). To make it easier to heal, practice posture, do physical therapy, and get well!
Cookies and Milk hi, how long did the surgery take? I haven’t been diagnosed with it yet but I can feel symptoms.. will find out once my GP refers me for an X-ray
Cookies and Milk ❤️❤️ how much can it be and where did u do it
Cookies and Milk how many did u have fused I’m have most of mine fused I’m 15
I had my scoliosis surgery in 2016, and it was the best decision I have ever made! It has helped me so much!!
Hey, i will have my surgery this year, please, do you have some advice?
Wow. What was the cost of the surgery please?
@@theBelemaKalio we have medical insurance. Not the best insurance but it covered the cost of my surgery completely! Got it done at Shriners, one of the best places to go for this procedure
I think I need to have a surgery soon omg I'm so scared
how was it
Same
I had severe scoliosis (and 82 degree bend)
And my spine was collapsing FAST
I had my surgery on June 8th (yes I’m a kid)
My life is so much better but this is just the beginning of the recovery, soon I’ll feel like a different person!
Aww, thanks for your motivation, i am going on my surgery this year, and these motivates me to stay calm. ❤️
Good Video, make me more understanding about Scoliosis surgery, thanks
i had it done to me when i was 17 now im 26 i can tell you looking back at it now it was the best thing i could of done for myself it was a painful process and then the six month struggle of learning everything all over again such as doing things on my own like walking and getting out of bed on my own but its better not doing the surgery and becoming a quadriplegic from the neck down for the rest of my life
i don't get what you're talking about. so are you for or against the surgery?
im 13 and going to have the surgery in 6 moths but i will be takeing my irish gcse ate the same time a girl in my year had it but she has a relly bad point of veiw on it and pretends it never happent to her so im pretty in the dark do you have any tips on coping
any downsides?
+CLASH WITH RYAN the only down sides from my experiences of it is the slow recouping process that comes after the surgery sleepless nights due to intense consistent pain and having to get help from a loved one going to the bathroom in the middle of the night it drove me to the point of thought of suicide the pain was so bad constantly waking up in the middle of the night from an unbearable pain for six months straight it will push you to and past your limits if you can take pain them kudos to you and the second thing for me is I'll never get to play football which i was really good at but steel rods took it out of my life forever now the upside is i can still walk better than i have before im a little more straighter than i was not slunched over like i was before
+Derbhilé Browne hey bud the only thing i can tell you is keep your head up it will help you in the long run but after surgery just becareful in everything you do are you having it done on your neck
I had this surgery and my mom won’t tell me how or what is it and this helped me and it’s scary now that I have it in me
I wish this was a thing when I was younger, my Scoliosis is bad. When at rest I lean to the right and the worst part is I never noticed till people kept asking why I lean.
I´m operated from scoliosis. I think that it´s important to share the experiences. I write about that in my channel. Be strong, you´re a warrior!!
Same! Thats y im trying to help in the comments and inform people how important this is.
Did you have numbness in ur arm when u had scoliosis?
Hey I need some help.my son is going to have his surgery next month.can u explain to me the process and will the scoliosis be permanently solved?.can he continue playing football afterwards?
I have levo scoliosis & 41 degree curve. This video was informative. Do you have recommendations for patients near LA.
I had full fusion with harrington rods in 1976 and after one year was cleared for all activity. I went on to do ballet, karate and weight lifting.
I got mine in 2017 and i lift as well! Goin 💪🏻
This is so satisfying to watch for some reason lol
About 4-5 months ago my doctor said that I will probably not grow too much more but he could still give me a back brace and recommend me to a physical therapist, I did everything he told me at that time my spine was curved 19 degrees but now 4-5 months later it’s now at 26 degrees, he told me it wouldn’t get this bad or progress this quickly but yet it did. Even though I did everything it sadly didn’t help at all just to anyone else who has scoliosis I hope the best for you and hope that your spine will not get worse in such a short amount of time
how old are you? usually doctors said that it will not curve anymore when you're an adult
How old r u ?
yeah I think I just stick with scoliosis
Trust me. You don't want to. It's scary but after getting the surgy, i gata day it feels better.
Don't ignore it it will become WORSE
I’ll just stick to slowly recovering with a back brace and exercises. 😂😂
@@cSedx00022 I gave up on my brace lmao
Drumstick Boi me too & my scoliosis gettin worse
I’m having mine in just over a week and I’m kinda scared but this helped a little bit I now know it’s more common and if anyone has anything they could tell me about it to re ashore me that would be nice
How was it
i think i have this problem.. but my right arm is more masculine than the left one.. idk if i can treat that problem to normal
I had the same as well from the top to the bottom of my back. My back was like a S shape they remove my right side because it was sticking out they put rod and pins in I got scoliosis I had my back done when I was 11 years old on my mum and dad's anniversary I was nearly 12 years old I was brave and I was asleep
I'm very nervous I have a appointment tomorrow and i don't know if it has gotten worse
The day before some scoliosis check at school is the day ALL THIS POPS UP ON MY RECOMMENDED GOD DAMN
I'm going to have surgery I'm a boxer and I love weight lifting and I feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger when I'm in the gym and feel like a eagle that never lands when I come out I dont go to sleep until 4 in the morning sometimes later because I can't get comfy anyone who reading this your not along be strong don't be afraid to have surgery
I Have a pretty advanced scoliosis, But since my mom doesnt want me to get surgery, I go to a chiropractor (he's an amazing guy) And i'm also getting a brace! Although my scoliosis is in a shape of an "s" But my body and my back is straight
I had to wear a hack brace for two years. At first 16 hours a day. But it got worse so I had to wear it 18 hours a day, them 24 hours except when I shower. Then I had surgery at age 11 (almost 12) then I was in the hospital for 4 days then got to go home and then all the medicine I was on had caused me to stay home for a while because of the type of medicine. Even though I took medicine it still hurt. It's been almost 2 years and I still have pain, not that much but sometimes it hurts if I stand for a long time. I still try to stand up so I can get use to it. My doctor said if I have pain when I get older in my lower back they will do surgery again to help it. 🤪 Then I also had to have knee surgery because my left leg is longer then my right, so they had to stop the growth. I had that knee surgery a year ago. I have screws in my back and knee lol. If anyone's scared the pain normally last only for two weeks and you will get some pain after but sometimes I barely notice sometimes 😬 but everything will be okay, God is there for you.
Surgery always should be the last option. If it's Functional Scoliosis, it is possible that it could be aligned with proper exercises, stretches, massages and maybe other methods.
I have scoliosis but it’s getting better
Hope that this channel can help my Girl Friend. She has scoliosis and i want her to have this kind of surgery. We need funds and hoping that random good people reading this could help. Thank You
Thank you for this video. may be i do my surgery on next month. I'm a little bit scared
You've got this!
I saw a live surgery video somewhere on the internet and also got the chance to see how the surgeon adds the white material to help maintain the straightened spine. I giggled because it's like adding salt or sugar to some meat lol. If I will have the chance to have a surgery sooner or later, I would wonder how would that feel once the surgeon will apply it in my spine.
It seems really scary and I will go to the doctor to get my spine checked cause it kinda feels painful when I'm slouching and I'm already over assuming but I'm just so nervous
My biggest fear is that my spinal cord will get severed if I get surgery
That's what I was thinking before, But in my opinion It's not going to worst after Surgery, My surgeon motivate me a lot, My surgery is going to be on May 27 , Kinda Nervous a little bit
Ra ph I’m having surgery on May 27th too, I wish you the best
Ra ph how was it? i hope youre doing okay :)
Hope every is all right!
I need to undergo this surgery, but I keep postponing it. Since the thoracic spine is the main issue, I don't need to have the lumbar spine fused. However, I'm scared that I might feel something odd around the screws
I had this in fourth grade. Changed my life
in a good or bad way?
lory102 msp good for me
Inshallah my back dodsnt get to 30 degrees but last time i went to my doctors they said it was at 28 degrees. But i have a question, after the surgery will i get back pain? I see people have back pain after surgery
I have scoliosis so that is when I sit down my back is slump
Is it affect the lower part? I mean since i had the accident and did a surgery in my spinal i couln't move my feet it was swollen for day 1 -2 weeks now it back in same size but i still have the numbness and i couldnt still not move my both legs.. im afraid i couldnt walk again 😔 but still believing i can im having my pychotheraphy tom.since i will go out of the hospital going directly on the therapy center to focus on my legs.
They did mine through the flank, but they used a rib to fuse.
wow thanks for giving me every type of anxiety and mental breakdown this happy music does fit here wow
I probs need this 😭. So scared
what program was used to make this presentation?
They did this to my body???Woah it look kinda hard im grateful for my surgeon
Amazing! How far treatment shave evolved.
Modern medicine is an incredible thing
I'm getting this in a couple of weeks and I'm so scared.
I had this surgery at 13. Long term complications kicked in when I was 36. I would not have had this surgery knowing what I know today.
Why??? im scared
What were they
What are you talking about? 😐
Either way you’re really toasted if you don’t get the surgery or not. It doesn’t really matter. If you didn’t take the surgery, the curve would’ve progressed anyway and by the age of 30 you’ll probably be faced with a depressing amount of back pain causes from the scoliosis. I wholeheartedly believe that scoliosis is not gonna fix and stabilize itself once you’re out of puberty.
My scoliosis now is getting worst. My back is really turning in the right side. Im 18 yrs old now and my scoliosis starts when im 10 yrs old. All i pray until now is to have a surgery because i want to be normal. 😭
Cl Kookie you already are normal!! That’s what I thought too before my surgery, but I got way more confident afterwards because I felt a lot better in my own body! I’m praying with you!
After the bones were formed they can remove the rods
Does OHP cover this
I was born with scoliosis had to have emergency that led me have surgery every 6 months until 2014 I was very young when I had it put in
I have a 45 degree in my upper spine and a 35 ish in my lower upper going to riggt side 35 left...i still workout and im really active, no backpain, but idk if i need it. already had surgery but it didnt fix it, wasn’t anything close to like this though
i’m a late reply but i’ve heard therapy/back brace helps
I had my operation a few months ago and most of my spine was fused, it was absolutely terrifying I thought I’d never recover 🙈
How are you feeling now?
I have scoliosis and a upper frenulum I need a brace for my scoliosis and surgery plus braces for my frenulum I’m scared that I won’t look normal ever...
dude i have surgery for it in 9 months of even longer and i hope it doesnt get worse through all of this :c
I just done surgery 2 weeks ago and I proise it's not that scary, the pain is bearable (mostly bc of pills they give you) and it will be so worth it to finally have a normal life even though it will take a bit of time
im getting Scoliosis surgery tomorrow i was so scared then this video explained it now i thinks its cool
Ik it’s been a while but how was it?
Also did you need a brace
So just noticed today that my 14yr is has scoliosis. Doctor is recommending surgery
my surgery date is january 5th im really scared, im 14 and have 2 curves, they are only doing the top curve because if they do both its a bigger risk :(
I have the same problem, but i don't take surgery. Now i'm 20 year's old. And i'm from Bangladesh. What do i do???
Can u estimate cost for surgery?
Is such kind of surgery affect child growth? Please answer anyone
I'm getting mine in January 2023. Really the only thing I'm scared about is getting my blood drawn. I hate needles. Other than that, I'm not too nervous. Honestly, I just want my scoliosis to get better, I am absolutely sick of it.
I need scoliosis, about to turn 21 and it’s hurting now
I had this. Will say the recovery was hard and painful but now im mostly normal. Except my back will jolt when i lay on my side and my skin feels numb
my child is only 13months she has spinal surgery one leg is no sense but litle movement what is treamet to recover sense
Hey guys, my scoliosis is getting bad and I think I might have to get surgery. Currently im 18 years old, so I will keep you guys updated on the journey if I do get it ❤
So what happens if you just take the rods out without the bone grafts? like teeth braces, we just put them in, adjust them and take them out. Will it go back even if you had the rods in there for say 2 years?
It would require another surgery, and it would be awful. They would have to get through years of recovery, which would do more harm than good. It's weird thinking about having, but other than that, you'd have no idea they're there.
Does it work at age of 35. From Nepal. It have very few hope. OT will be expensive that i cannot afford.
I really want this surgery. I only have moderate scoliosis, but it is really ugly and causes pain.
Which hospital is best for scoliosis surgery in India?plz inform me
I have scoliosis but it's at 12 degrees I hope it won't worsen as I'm only 13
My Daughter is 16 and will have her surgery in 4 weeks' time. Insha Allah everything will be OK
yes, inshaALLAH. :), may ALLAH make it easy for her n the family
just skimming thru all the videos cause ive had scoliosis since i was 13-14 and my 1st surgery didnt work (tether) now im 22 looking to do a spinal fusion. just want to put this all behind me now so i can move on (: 45 top 32 bottom i dont know the exact terminology
Getting this surgery dine in a little over a week, had surgery last yesr for tethered spinal cord (all the way up) My scoliosis is over 50 degrees (not to 60) and I'm afraid that this will hurt more than the last. I hope this will help my back pain and fix my tilted pelvis.
Does it hurt after you wake up from the actual surgery? Pls tell me
@@TofiRUclips Im recovering from the surgery right now, and i dont lie lol.
It dosent hurt ALOT after the surgery it just feels like u cut urslef along ur back a bit. Sure, a couple days after the surgery it hurts quite a bit and because of all the painkillers they give you (hence why it dosent hurt when you wake up) in my experience, you do feel a lil sick.. but you recover really quick! Its only been almost a month after my surgery and i can walk around almost fine (though my centre of gravity goes everywhere) and i honestly feel way better than before the surgery! (Also you get to skip school for a while uwu)
Hope this helped, Good luck!
Very interesting how surgeons fix scoliosis
Bro I feel like crying. I’m 18 and the doctor just told me I have scoliosis. I didn’t know it was serious until my older cousin told me how dangerous it was and now I feel like crying 😭
don't worry it is not dangerous and having a scoliosis doesn't mean that you'll have to do a surgery. This surgery is only when your back problems are really hard but I think that if you only discovered yours at 18 they are probably not that bad
It’s actually not very dangerous, and it’s very common, so don’t worry. ☺️☺️
