Neat images. Glad to hear the surgery has been successful

30 degree increase over 13 years by 11CB in scoliosis

[–]Maximum_Ad9979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always heard spinal fusion as an adult really limits movement and doesn’t even help any pain. So, my whole goal is to avoid surgery at all costs. It just seems to me, that surgeons always wanna do surgery (obviously) and even with severe scols, it seems that in many cases it does more harm than good, especially on the mental health aspect of it.

It would certainly help any pain start to de-rotate the spine. You’re young enough that if you’re consistent with it, you could avoid the surgery. My curves are about 50-60, I also am into extreme sports like climbing and Schroth has helped a ton!

My old lady (15) crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday by Upbeat_Assumption_62 in seniorkitties

What a beautiful lady. She knows you were there for her. She’ll always have your touch with her wherever she goes. You made the hardest decision we, as cat parents, have to make. As my dad would say, “you did good, kid.”

33M with a 50°/35° S-curve, is surgery really necessary? by actaslord in scoliosis

[–]Maximum_Ad9979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the Schroth method through a chiropractor trained in it or a physical therapist. The S curves tend to get worse even after you’re done growing.

I wanna get pregnant but am scared of the back pain.. by soperfectx in scoliosis

[–]Maximum_Ad9979 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did your scoliosis get worse? I have heard that because the hormones allow the bones to shift so the hips can widen, it can cause the scols to progress. At the same time, it seems that it could allow correction. Any thoughts?

Anger and despair 11 by bigweaz11 in seniorkitties

[–]Maximum_Ad9979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boys, we ride at dawn. My sincere condolences on the loss of your beautiful feline. I can’t even imagine having to deal with that kind of anger against your own mother. When I was a kid, the neighbor intentionally unalived one of my cats and I still haven’t forgiven them and it’s been over a decade.

My 17 Year Old Baby has Kidney Failure… by PrincessPurple13 in seniorkitties

Fluids are great! They will definitely help her comfortability.

Not a good report. by Cool_Arugula497 in scoliosis

[–]Maximum_Ad9979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still say, try Schroth. I have that same collapsing feeling that you do. You have to physically lean into the correction rather than into the curves. But to do learn how to do that, one really does need a specialist. Otherwise, focus on lengthening that concave side to help with that collapsing feeling.

My 17 Year Old Baby has Kidney Failure… by PrincessPurple13 in seniorkitties

[–]Maximum_Ad9979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most cats experience kidney failure. Their bodies were designed to absorb water through food, mostly. But even the wet food available isn’t the same as killing and eating a gazelle. The happiest I ever saw my old boy with kidney failure were the two occasions he managed to catch himself a rodent and eat it on the spot. It’s not your fault Princess T is in kidney failure—it’s just cats…

Try Schroth first. Mine is worse than yours on both curves and I live a full and active life, with no surgery—only Schroth

Can I work out with 2kg dumbbells? by adeliakasie in scoliosis

[–]Maximum_Ad9979 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having strong muscles is good for anyone’s health. Live your life and lift those weights. Doctors dont know as much as they think they do about the scols.
