So as many of you know I am a 42 yo boy mom x’s 4 with severe scoliosis. I was never diagnosed as a child surprisingly. It wasn’t until I was in my early 20’s and had already birthed one child and getting ready to birth my second. At that time it was very minor and my hips weren’t rotated. Then after I had my fourth son things changed drastically. My back would always hurt, hips hurts ect but I kinda shrugged it off to well I’m a momma of four always on the go, carrying car seats and babies all the time. Then in 2013 I woke up one morning to what I thought was a kink in my neck. So I took some Tylenol and said I’ll just let it ride the course and I’ll be fine. Two days later I was in extreme pain, right arm and hand was numb, couldn’t move it nor could I get dressed on my own. So I ended up going to the doctor. They did X-rays, mri and came in and told me you have a pinched nerve and c3-c4 disc is completely out so we need to operate. They also informed me that I had degenerative disc/joint disease, rotated hips and scoliosis. I go through surgery went home same day and day three I was back at work. Then in 2017 I had another issue with my neck so I went to the doctor and he said well c1-c2, c2-c3 and c5-c6 are completely degenerated away we will need to operant again and put more hardware in. So me being the goofy person I am I said oh yay I’m gonna be a bionic lady 😂 I go through with surgery and all was well until 2023. The pain had got to where it was constant and off the charts so against everything I always said I knew it was time to see the neurosurgeon again to discuss options. Mind you over the years I had tried pretty much everything known to man. Tens unit, brace, heating pad, dry needling, injections, anti inflammatory meds because although I did have my neck done I never wanted to have my back done that just wasn’t ever in the plan for me. So I go to the neurosurgeon that also specializes in scoliosis and he doesn’t more testing on me. He comes in the room and says I know you don’t want surgery but we need to seriously consider it. My spine is on the shape of a S plus twisted causing my hips to rotate as well. The rope of my spine sits at a 29 degree angle and the bottom sits at a 46 degree angle. I have multiple fractures all throughout my spine due to the compression, my spine has arthritis all throughout it and is quickly degenerating away. Also do to the extreme curvature and the kyphosis up top all of my organs are getting pushed to the left side of my body and it has become harder to breathe as my lungs have a lot of pressure on them from the spine pressing on them. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scare or nervous about the surgery because I am I’m actually terrified but I know this is what I need to do to increase the quality of life and be the mom I need to be for my kids. I know I will still have pain after surgery but it won’t be to the extent that it is now and I will be able to do daily things that need to be done without complications. I am a very independent person and it’s so hard for me to ask someone to help with something however that seems to be the case lately. So January 29th I will meet with the surgeons to go over everything that will take place during surgery, recovery ect then get my surgery date. We can only go up from here right? So please come with me on this journey and show support. On the days I feel completely defeated I will need y’all the most. I plan to document my surgery journey and share with all of you. Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it! #letsgo #scoliosis #scoliosisawareness #scoliosissurgery #myjourney #scoliosisjourney #staystrong

ignore my voice I’m a little under the weather. I hope everyone has a fabulous day! Be the rainbow in someone’s storm. ❤️

So I’m about to step out of my comfort zone for a moment. I am 42 yo and have severe scoliosis and kyphosis. Thoracic spine is at a 29 degree curve and lumbar is a 46 degree. My spine is a S plus twisted. My hips are also rotated. So I guess you could say I’m a complete disaster 😂 I will be having scoliosis surgery soon. They will be doing what is referred to as the kickstand rod technique. I share this with you to say no matter what you may be going through brighter days are to come. Do I think this is a miracle fix? Absolutely not. I do know I will still have some pain ect after I’m not oblivious. I do believe it will make life more enjoyable, it will make me where I’m not as self conscious of my body and I know better days are to come. It will be a journey and I’m sure lots of tears will be shed but nothing good comes easy! I’ve previously had all levels of my neck done except c6-c7 due to scoliosis, degenerative disc ect so come along with me on this journey as I will need a sound support system. I meet with the surgeons (yes surgeons as it will be a two man team and minimum of 10 hours) the 29th to get my surgery date. Also I included the spine figure pic because well I think it’s funny 😂 #scoliosis #scoliosisjourney #scoliosissurgery #positivevibes

Let’s go friends!!!!
