  • Hello All.

    Well its now been a little more than a Half of a year(June 20th) snice i had my sugery for my kyphosis and let me tell everyone something I have never felt better. Even with the PT(Physical Therapy) still a on going thing it is great to be back to normal with out pain. Also even better news I have gotten the OK from my M.D. to go ahead and Play Baseball this spring at a Full pace. Now for those of you who are just going through the whole sugery thought let me tell you its ok to be scared and etc but IT is for the bettter trust me. On June 19th I had a 125 degree curve on my spine today it is down to a 25 degree curve. Trust me when i say all the pain and hard times in the first few weeks are worth having your life back. Any question's on Kyphosis or if you need anything else on this issue PM me or post back. Thanks so much.
    97 degree Kyphosis is now down to 23. 12 hours and 16 days after being let go of the hospitol it feels so good to be back.

        Hey Congrats on the playing baseball! It feels great to have your life back after surgery doesn't it? I know that after about 10 months postop, I knew that I had it back, and it was for the better! Well, take care and have a great time playing ball (my favorite sport

          Ross,
          She is doing good just can't get her built back up fast enough. We have tried to go out for the last 3 days and after she gets ready it wipes her out. She was getting a little down but her friends came over last night and it perked her up. She is better it is just so cold here and would like to to get her out. I think the stomach virus slowed her down even more. She did eat a little yesterday which was a miracle. She is hungry but nothing tastes good, even milk shakes and ice cream dosn't taste good. So thank you for asking we are going to keep plugging away. She is 3 weeks post op and I am going to try and get her off pain meds by next weekend. I think that will help her appetite.

            That is very inspiring that you can go back to baseball! I too, have the kyphosis (at 80). My thoracolumbar curve is 95, T11-L3. I do hope I can come out in as good shape as you! I just e-mailed my Dr. to see how much my curves can be reduced. It is mainly the hump that bothers me, no real leg pain yet...I also have been researching digestive issues and scoliosis & found some interesting stuff. That worried me more than anythg since I have bad acid reflux & coughing etc. Can't put everythg on the scoliosis but I really thk the spine is pressing on my diaphragm??? any opinions?

                  Just to update. Physical Thearphy is now done. Baseball has started and besides a few problems's with sit up's and some Ab work out's looks to be a great start.
