Found out..

posted 5th Aug '12
Last week that I have severe scoliosis. Midway down my spine curves out to the right 10 degrees, but at the start of the curve my spine is literally rotating because my stupid body tried fixing itself but as always it just makes everything worse.

On the 27th I go see the spine surgeon to get more details on how it will be fixed, but according to my PCP the rotation is bad enough only surgery will be effective. =/

I have another new job, making 5. I start my newest one on Tuesday, going on Monday to get my badge. Although they said I might end up starting on Monday. My shifts are 1300-2230, 6 days a week.

I am so smurfing stressed out. My PCP is trying to make me quit 2 of my jobs, and if I do end up having surgery how the smurf am I going to work to support me and the boy. Thankfully I only have to pay for gas for now, [aside for everything for Gabe], so I'm going to save up. Within the next 6 months between two of my jobs I can have 8-10K and I'm going to save the smurf out of all that.

I have scoliosis as well. Mine is not horrible. I was supposed to get it checked out every other year from the age of 14 but I stopped going once I turned 16..

That's what I was thinking it was.   How much pain are you in from it? Mine is pretty mild compared to yours, but you can visibly see how one of my hips and shoulders is higher than the other when I stand normally.

I have scoliosis as well and nobody will touch me. I deal with the pain of that and fibromyalgia everyday. Good luck!

Well, I am glad you got a diagnosis! Not so good that the diagnosis isn't so great.

My mom used to work 5 jobs to make ends meet, it's hard but we do what we have to do.

My left hip pokes out in the front and Reese said my right shoulder is a little higher. But when I'm leaning over, my left hip and shoulder drop a bit. You can see where my spine is rotating, too. I'm so tired of people wanting to see then saying 'how smurfing gross' it is afterwards -_-

  I don't think it's gross. I'd probably say something like "that's really weird" but it's not gross. D: You can see my little curve, but it isn't crazy prominent.
