and im very scared and cant stop thinking about it. im close to surgery and i hope my spine didn't worsen because i havent been going to physical therapy exercises...


do the physical threapy exercises really help? if so, in what way...?

I know its a little too late to respond because youve already went to the ortopedic.. but im writing this so other people with the same question can reffer to it.. Physical Therapy is very important and they do help alot.. The whole idea of it is to stretch your back and to help the spine straighten.. I do therapy everyday at my house but now.. im here in barcelona with my doctor and physical therapist so i do therapy with her every day once or twice a day.. If you can.. continue doing therapy even if your spine is getting better.. remember.. it can get soooo much better and it can get soooo much worse!!! But always think positive..!!

so how is it going in Spain? i hope you are having success with the Dr. and your curves are getting better...

oo.. hi.. and thank you for asking
I went to my doctor in barcelona spain and now im back..
Lucky me, my curve is getting better.. (and hey! ive only been wearing the brace for half a year!!) My doctor changed/ modified my brace and he added more pressure to some places. While i was there i did therapy everyday
and i corrected some of my mistakes because since i do therapy alone
and no one is there to correct me whenever i make a mistake.. Luckily i didnt have too many mistakes, but i did feel much better when i did it.. It was also tiring.. I did everyday once or twice for an hour!!
