Watching this video makes me feel a sort of pride for this young man .... back when I had my first surgery to insert 2 Harrington rods and fuse my spine in 1983 I was in hospital for 6 months, then 1 year later my rods broke and my curvature came back with a vengeance. I happy this young man is doing so well keep up the great work
Your story was a great help to me in deciding to do this surgery for myself. I have also returned to it when I've needed a little reminder of how things might progress during my recovery. I had my surgery, T2-L4 on April 2, so I am about 4 months out. I had a setback in that my top fused vertebrae fractured about a month ago. I am steadily getting back to where I was before that. You are so right about your frame of mind and positive thinking. Thank you for sharing your milestones!!
Ouch, that sounds rough with the setback. I am now something like 28 months post-op and I literally have had no issues. I have LOOKED for them and I can't find any, LOL. I am extremely physically active these days. I have put on about 35-40lbs of lean muscle, so I look very skinny and weak here. But I am doing 100%, wishing you the best. You will be fine. Good luck
I'm 40 and have this, daily pain and sometimes no relief. I'm considering talking to someone here soon. I'm scared shitless none the less, I live alone without any help for the most part
Hi there i got diagnosed with this condition when i was 14 i noticed it when i was in pain and had stiffness in my back after playing football. I started athletics that year and i lost around 2 stone and the pain seemed to stop, now that i have stopped athletics and put weight back on i have started getting pains and stiffness again. I would recommend to anybody to be extremely active and if you get pain carry on going and im sure it will benefit you. PS the surgery looks to have worked well :)
@AM4012 Hi I am 4 months post-op and I have no pain...I was in pain for a good 2 months..down to tylenol...then to nothing..but expect the pain to last at least 3 months..BUT it is very manageable. plus with a straight spine, you can deal!
@ultramarine1234 My curve was 72 degrees and it was corrected to about 45. However, it depends a lot on where the curve is on your back. Mine was very low; most people with kyphosis have a much higher 'hunch'. Best of luck, and if you have any more questions, feel free to message or comment me.
Hey, I’m a 16-year-old about to have this surgery in less than a month!!! Your videos have helped me understand a little more about the process after the surgery. I have someone questions if you still check these comments lol, we’re you socially scared of what people think about your curvature? Also, what does your back feel like after the surgery? I appreciate you for documenting this, and maybe I’ll do the same for mine. Have a great day 🤙
I have Scheuermann's disease and have a surgery consult on Tuesday. How is your pain NOW? Is the recovery still going well? I know some people have good days, some bad days. Others have pain constantly and require additional surgeries.
