關於 lumbar scoliosis ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

Since coming out into the open about my scoliosis, I've gotten a lot of feedback from everyone. A lot of people asked me to go for a second opinion or see a #chiropractor. I haven't been able to reply to everyone but here's what I've done in the past. I have seen 2 chiropractors, multiple physios, worn the #SpineCor brace and seen 3 surgeons. The surgeon that is doing my operation is my 4th surgeon.

The reason why I'm opting for the surgery now is because I've put my surgery on hold for the pass 12 years (mainly due to my swimming career) and because my scoliosis is progressing. My thoracic curve is around 40 and my lumbar at 68.

This is what I see in the mirror. The picture from last week was the first time I've seen my back looking kinda 'twisted' which got me a little disheartened. Hence why my picture was also in black and white.

53 days till my operation!!

Scoliosis. A condition that causes the spine to curve in a 'C' or 'S' angle. It can affect any part of the spine, but the most common regions are the thoracic and the lumbar.

After months of discussions, appointments with different doctors, meetings and advice from people, I've finally decided to have an operation done on the 8th of May.

I've been asking Mr Google about people who are in the same boat as I am and see if they do share their experience but not many have. So here I am, gathering my courage to share my story in hopes that other people in the same boat as I am won't feel alone.

I will start blogging about my 'journey' with scoliosis. What it's like to be made fun of, swimming at international level with it, finding the right clothes, working with pain and so on. Will start writing more once I've got a good name for my blog. All suggestions are welcomed. 😊
