Hi I am new having just joined yesterday. I am amaized at all the differing experiences people have had, there are some very brave souls out there.
I realise I have been one of the lucky ones.
I was diagnosed with scoliosis at age ten and wore a millwaulkie brace up until age 17 the curvature continued to get worse and I had surgery that same year having the Harrington Rod inserted. This left only about 3 vertibrae that had any movement down the bottom. I have been fortunate having had 3 children with very few problems. I am now 38 and those three remaining vertebrae have worn considerably over the last 21 years leaving me with much pain in the last few months both muscular and nerve,
I have been looking into different alternative methods to relieve the pain as more surgery is all the medical proffesion can offer at this stage. Is there anyone who has found relief from this debilitating problem and if so can you please share them with us.Some days I cannot even straighten up and I am exhausted from the pain getting little sleep at night I have recently resigned from work as I was unable to function I want to find some relief so I can return to the work force and enjoy my family again, your ideas would be much appreciated both medically or naturally including what and how different medications may help. Thanks to you all.
