I'm a 10 year old kid, I'm currently using my dads acc rn, but... I have sheurmmans rn, and all my favorite hobbies include physical movement, like dancing, sports, etc. i have plans for my life, being a doctor is my dream job, but now i feel hopeless but i thank my mom for comforting me when i feel like the world is turning down on me, but all i want all the people who are the same as me to be hopeful, prayerful, and especially careful. Be safe everyone, I hope we pray for one another for fast recoveries, stay strong😁
What a lovely young lady you are my 12 year old daughter is currently going through scans etc for this as well I wonder how old this comment is and did you get your dream job if the comment is old I hope your life has improved and most importantly your happy 🙏
Diagnosed with severe kyphosis at 15, had a fusion at 17 and it was the biggest mistake of my life. From 17-21 I had undergone 6 surgeries from broken hardware to them hitting a nerve with a screw to eventually getting staff infection and having all hardware removed. If I could go back I would have done yoga and natural therapy to try and correct it. Getting spinal surgery was the biggest mistake of my life and how now left me with broken hardware in my spine they can't remove. I know some people have positive outcomes but I highly suggest trying all natural healing not surgery. Now I have a hunchback with more pain then I was in and since my back is fused I can barely do anything that I was able to do before the surgery. I'm 32 and I have to live my life like I'm 65.
Thank you for sharing. I am currently debating what to do about it. I’m sorry you have been going through this. I sympathize with your condition. It’s so hard to be old, young. I don’t think I’ll ever stop mourning the life I could of had or the things I wanted to achieve. You’re not alone.
I was told to keep surgery as a very last resort , but if you see the guy at 17:00 the difference in looks after his surgery.. that’s what I want. This has destroyed my self esteem. I was diagnosed in the 10th grade, and that was over 15 years ago, and it’s still on my mind day and night. Im very very self conscious about it. I wish I could get surgery done!
Just wanted to tell anybody going through this right now it sucks! But IT GETS BETTER. I remember being in pain all the time but now as an adult I have a very physical job and no pain (other than being sore at the end of the day!). Best of luck to you all.
surely there must be new and improved ways to cure this? i mean with all the advancements in surgery and medicine, don’t they have anything better than rods? or what about injecting to correct the wedged shapes in the vertebrae? any further research in this field which looks at correcting this without surgery?
To anyone out there going through this…I hope you find the strength to get through it. Start with one step…idk if it’s with massages and stretches or yoga or something…just start with that…fight it. The back may not be the way it was again, but you can definitely fight it….fight ❤️
It seems that i have no alternatives. Im a 29 years old adult so bracing is not working but i also have around 65° so surgery is not for me yet. What can i do. This is truly affecting my self-steem so much since many years ago.
Brace for three years full time and two years part time. The only thing that helped the pain was intense exercise. Pain free today at 33, but daily movement is mandatory and a good pair of shoes if I'm spending the day on concrete/hard floors.
@@dvntejvmes3475 it has ruined my life. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 27. I was on all kinds of pain meds for many years. I got sick of the side effects and went off them all. BIG mistake. Now I’m miserable and no doctors will prescribe anything for pain. Injections don’t help, I had a spinal cord stimulator and my body rejected it. So I had to have it removed. I hope you fare better than I have. I’m 50 years old and I have been on disability for almost 4 years. It’s so depressing. I wish I could have my life back.
Why everyone who have this is in depression? i have it also, it's painful but 90% of the days i'm happy, i try to ignore it. Does it get worse with age?
Yes it typically advances. There is no one measure of advancement. You might go until your 50s before it gets bad. I'm 31 and am in pain 24/7 my curve is very pronounced. I was so depressed at one time I was suicidal. It's hard for a young person in their 20s in constant pain and having a shit quality of life
Hello, I am 23 years old. I have kyphosis. Can I strengthen my back muscles and straighten my spine with a workout style of exercise designed for kyphosis and without getting under a heavy load? Or is it impossible to correct for my age?
If anyone has any advice please feel free.. i not only am very self conscious, but I do have daily back pain. As of now my back is throbbing, and I do get chest pain. I have an irregular heart beat as well. My sister has this disease as well, and her back is curved worse than mine, and mine was at like a 63 when diagnosed, and a 65 two years later. I can see that it’s definitely worse now I’m in my 30’s. It’s really crazy, because I’m a major back looker, and I hardly ever spot anyone who has a curved back such as myself, and when I do they are usually really old people. It’s not a very common disease. I definitely won’t be caught at the pool, or without my shirt anywhere. It’s getting to the point where my thick cotton shirts aren’t hiding it as well as they once were, and I’m definitely more comfortable when I’m in a coat, and the thought of bending over in public gives me crazy anxiety.. I thought as I got older I would get used to it, but nothing has changed. I pray that one day the stars will align and I’ll get corrective surgery done.
weights...but get some proper advice. I was diagnosed in my late 20's with this condition. I felt like jumping off a cliff...very depressed and had no help or support. In my early 20's I got into weights and this really made a huge improvement to my posture. You can work around it, its tough but we get dealt a certain hand of cards in life....thats the way I deal with it. Its quite a common condition, there are several in my town with this condition.
I'm 13 and i have kyphosis and lordosis it doesn't really hurt but it gets hard to breathe when i run and im really embarrassed i always wear baggy shirts hoping it will be less noticeable. I really hope it won't hurt when i get older.
if you can afford to, find a chiropractor or some other body work specialist that can help you get into proper alignment. also look up exercises on youtube you can do to reverse the condition or at least minimize its progression. try physical therapy if you have insurance that will pay for it. luckily you are still young and growing! a lot of people find out too late to do much about it. what you do over the next several years could really make the rest of your life better. for me anything that stretches the front of my torso/chest is helpful. find exercises and stretches that open up the muscles of the front part of your body. you dont want to end up like those of us who didnt get treatment until we were finished growing and its a daily struggle to reduce the pain.
I notice when I straighten my back or move my shoulder up with back straight it's very hard to breath and I get very dizzy it also makes me very very tired why is this?
I had this and had surgery done when I was 16 I’m in more pain now then I was before the surgery but I have more confidence. I also wore a back brace in high school but kids made fun of me so I didn’t wear it often that’s y I had to have surgery. I’m 28 now and I can honestly say that if I didn’t have the surgery done I would probably be to self conscious to be able to go out of the house.
I have sheurmanns kyphosis it’s 106 degrees waiting to hear what my treatment options are have pain in top of spine near the neck and constant stabbing in lower back that runs down my legs
dale schreppler Regarding the high curve degrees you have you should do a surgery. I think that the better for you. Nonetheless you should consider the arguments for and against that type of surgery
Hello my name is Mary my son was diagnosed with 4 herniated disc at the lower lumbar and doctor said he had sheuermann but didn’t say what type. He is in a world of pain every single day and doctor will not do any surgery due to him being to young he’s24. Is there anything to help him.
Omg the same thing happened to me my doctor said i had 3 herniated discs but when i went to rileys they said it was shermans im in extreme pain and im 18 ill be doing the physical therapy soon
Hello I'm not a native English speak so can someone help me with the 20:45 slide ? Does he either talk about patients who had a surgery or patients who dont had a surgery but just a long term follow-up during their life ? That would be very kind if someone can help me
@@twoblocksdown5464 no its not i've just had surgery after fighting for it for the last 15 years of my life. did physio my who like and it did noting for me other then just make my back hurt more and more. I was the best things i've ever don't having surgery, I might be able to actually live again. phyiso and working out is dog shit. would fix anything. its good to do physio 3 or 4 months before surgery to get your muscles strengthened to help with the recovery. thats hat I did. worked out so well. I'm fused from T2 to L1 so 12 vertebra. was a huge surgery but well worth it in the end.
I was just diagnosed with this does that mean i should be on disabillity im 18 and in extreme pain in physical therapy but cant take nsaid perscriptions
I would say absolutely get disability if you can. if you cant work, you need whatever income you can get to pay for out of pocket treatment. I was young and stupid and convinced myself I could get back to work. didnt go about getting on disability and pretty much screwed it up for myself. you will almost certainly get denied the first time like everyone does and have to appeal. the system is broken but you just have to be persistent. surgery and drugs are really a last resort. I've been in pain every day for the last 20 years. when I can afford it, chiropractic makes a difference.
@@WASIV thanks for the info ima try but with crazy medical bills im having to neglect my health cause i cant afford it even after insurance pays for some of it
