Hi all,
complete newbie to the forum - pleasure to have found you all!
In short...
28yo guy from Perth, Australia w/ congenital kyphoscoliosis that wasn't fully diagnosed until a couple of years ago. Anterior fusion T9-T11 with a 43 degree kyphosis and around 20 degree scoliosis.
I've basically had a decade of chronic neck pain (transferred up the spine) and migraines, and have spent the last year heading down the track of remedial physiotherapy.
I have had pretty much zero upper body strength, so they've had me doing strengthening on my shoulders and back in an attempt to get things to hold up and hoping that my discs don't give out 20yrs or so down the track.
Things are going relatively OK, but I'm interested to know of anyone else who's had a similar experience.
Anyone know how well strengthening works in the long term?
And how long it takes for things to start working?
Thanks all,
Martin
