Hello everyone!
I am 24, my surgery was seven years ago next month. Prior to having surgery I was a really active teenager. I was in competitive dance 4 times a week, took tae kwon do, and did high jump. After surgery obviously I stopped a lot of these activities to allow for proper recooperation and healing. Seven years later, I still don't do much physical activity. I've been blessed by a fast metabolism and good genes, so I'm still pretty slender, but I'm just frustrated at the lack of options there are for me as far as physical activity. I have a fair amount of chronic pain, including arthritis and muscular problems as a result of my scoliosis. I have no flexibility in my upper body, I can just bend at the waist.
What do you all do for physical activity that doesn't have a negative effect resulting in pain and exhaustion? I am going to start cross country skiing once the snow comes (I live in Canada). My specialist recommended a website called www.yogaforscoliosis.com but it is more for prevention of non fused scoliosis.
I want to be more active and healthier than I am right now, any advice? Thanks!!
