- Heyooo!
Not that y'all asked for a q & a but here we are! I tried posting this three times over the past 2 days and for some reason... it just would 👏🏼 not👏🏼 work👏🏼 BUT here we are... finally!
I've been getting so many questions about my surgery lately - especially about pain and recovery, post-surgery limitations, and general q's about the surgery. So today I answer some of your most asked questions. The time stamps are:
1:37 - general questions
5:14 - pain and recovery
10:28 - flexibility, mobility and limitations
If you have any questions at all feel free to ask! I am always happy to help 🤗
You know what to do 👇🏼👇🏼

I understand that it really depends on which vertebrae get fused but it was still so reassuring hearing and seeing you showcase your mobility post surgery. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing! I've never known people having scoliosis. I hope you feel much much better!
Eyy curved spine gang! Also, happy birthday!!
Ayyyy our spines be doing their own thinggg!! And thank you 🤗🤗 Sounds weird to say I am 20 lol
Same here
Thumbs up! Clear expression and clarification from your individual medical surgery and recovery experience! Love you with fully support!! Happy New Year 2022 in deepest wishes from our family!!! My older son is in third year of university now and he has similar degree curve as your previous but he hasn’t ready for surgery yet because his Surgeon suggested wait and see and he isn’t in much pain as you had before your surgery. So, we are hoping more modern technology may offer better surgery results reducing side effects. But as Mum, I really worry about his symptoms/curve worsened since we discovered almost 4 years ago.
Hi Crystal! I am wishing you and your family a wonderful new year! And to your son - I hope he is doing well. There are some really innovative strategies out there for correcting curves! All the best 😊
Thanks for sharing your story! I have been in and out of hospitals my entire life. Also broke my leg a few years ago and had surgery at BC children's. let's just say my net worth went up as well. Happy Birthday!
Thanks for the birthday wishes! Look at BC Children’s Hospital giving us a kickstart haha! 😅
Thank you for sharing.. Maddy.. kindly make some video on UBC campus ..
Hello Maddy
I just want to say that you are very very nice.
Keeping going
Well done to you🧡✌️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have almost like ur spine but my degree was 48 in lumber part and 13 in the thoracic part
Did u have neurological pain while walking after the surgery?
I am right now in the first month of healing 22 days r gone
I stopped the pain medications directly after 8 days i have pain but i can tolerate it so gd
But unfortunately i have now a leg which is longer than the other in 1cm and i got a support for that but still i have neurological pain
The other thing that my pelvis now is rotated to the front
I have no idea if it will back to its position after the 3 months
Before the surgery i had no longer leg and no prob in my pelvis
I hope that it get adjusted later on so i don’t feel bad about the surgery 😢
I just had my surgery 3 weeks ago! I want to know in how much months after surgery you could run? I love going out for a run but I don’t know if in 6 months will be ok
Hi! Exciting! I hope your recovery is going well :) You will have to check in with your doctor on that. They will be able to give you a much better idea. I was given the green light for light physical activity at 6 months, which included light jogs. But again, listen to your doctor - everyones experience is going to be different!
@@MaddyA thank you so much!!! Ok! Recovery has been good but it’s a bit frustrating because I can’t do some things by myself and I haven’t find the right way to make my skincare routine by myself before sleeping :/
@@ximenalopez6249 It takes time! You will get there slowly but surely - remember you have just had a huge surgery! Recovery is a process full of many steps :) Good luck!
@@MaddyA thank you, I really appreciate your responses and your RUclips videos!!
My storys werid I got a xray for my lungs and my mum saw a curve and at that time I had lots of pain. 3 years later I'm here in a cast. Not the FULL story but most of it
Wow that's interesting! Glad to hear things are sorting themselves out though :)
hey maddy I have a 28 degree curve top and 20 something cure at the bottom, I wear a brave for 10 hours everyday. I am 18 should I do a surgury?
Hi! This is something you would need to talk to your doctor about! If it’s something you’re comfortable moving forward and you have the means to do so, see what they say 😊
I'm not Maddy but you should wear a brace Intel your out of puberty. If you out of puberty and no changes most likely
@Chaz Oof is correct but definitely talk to your doctor about the next steps. They will know best :)
@@chazoof8894 ye I stopped growing, so it doesn't correct it anymore. I am just wearing it for 10 hours to make it hopfully not curve anymore as years pass
Do you feel the rods?
nope! at least i dont think i have ever felt them. in the surgery they typically do a bone graft over the rods so they are covered.
Unfortunately reality of such a surgery at your age.. it will not last and arthritis tends to appear throughout the rest of the spine as a result. It will be a tough road to say thr least. I truly wish you the best.
So far things are going great! It is a reality for many people regardless of having surgery or not but daily movement has and will continue to help :)
