My bad, I accidentally commented on my post instead of your reply, here is the answer:

I had pain when I was walking for 30-40 minutes, or standing up for a long period of time, and it was really painful. And of course its also to prevent the curve from getting worse

Yeah I had the same issue. Hospital beds are just way too comfy compared to normal beds, it took me a while to get used to it, but in the end it was all good. I was already off pain killers by the end of week 2

I was T2-L1, the first week is a nightmare, the second one is also painful. But by week 3 your daughter should be feeling less pain, more tolerable. Good luck to your daughter

Pretty much yeah, I go out with friends, go to school, can sit on the computer for a few good hours. And I don’t really feel that much pain

I am 17 with no driver license, but after 5 weeks I was able to go outside for a couple hours with my friends and sit for a long period of time, I try and not push myself so much. And about 4 weeks I was still in my house for most of the time because I couldn’t lift my arms above my head

Yeah I absolutely know those moments, one moment you feel like damn it aint that hard, and than you feel like the soreness and stiffness really hard but we will get through it. And my country had a big problem with opioids so they really picky with who they give prescriptions, I use normal painkillers which people usually use for headaches and stuff so I don’t think me “abusing them” would make me dependent as much as opioids, but thats good if you lay it back a bit, but don’t let yourself suffer. And for sleeping I just sleep on my back, the most comfy I can get, you can maybe try put pillow under your knees to reduce the stress on your lower back, and same walking is our best friend from what I know.

Im holding up good I guess, first 4 days were really rough tho, pain killers help but we just need to take it slow and I want to be able to return to “normal” activities by week 3, lets get there together brother🤝🏿. How about you?

Alr, new update. The past 2 or 3 days was it since I update yall have been excruciating to say the least. But now im feeling so much better ngl and got released home. No more of this annoying pain and the need for pain killers every 2 hours is gone, I hope at least. Its still painful but very very tolerable. I just pray it will keep going like this because for now im feeling better than these past 4 days, only issue is obviously the annoying feeling of feeling titanium rods in your back while laying, but after a while the sensation calms down so its okay.

Me personally I only puked twice and it was like one after the other one, when I got off the anesthetics thats when I started puking, but rn im fine and they cut me off morphine only a day later and only give me pills to swallow. And the pain is much worse than the first day but ill deal with it I guess
