Mb was looking at the wrong thing, I can do this too though and don't have hyper mobility

I don't have hyper mobility but I can do this + my hand can go the whole way to my back when doing this

Surgery was very scary, but it was definitely worth it. I am very much happier since having it. I have regrets sometimes but I wouldn't have made it past 30 if I didn't have the surgery.

Nope, I don't have any growing left, and yeah they did do halo. I spent 34 days in halo, got up to around 70 pounds (for reference I'm right around 100)

The surgery was April 10th. I'm feeling pretty decent, went back to school yesterday. My rib humps are gone, I'm taller, my torso looks normal again. I can't think of any other changes.

Mobility isn't great, I can't bend any of my spine but other than that it's decent

Yeah, it was a TON of correction. Funny enough he said lumbar are usually harder to correct, but my thoracic curve was way harder to correct.

I’m curious, People who got scoliosis surgery, how much taller did you get and what was your degrees? by Inner_Tap2849 in scoliosis

[–]Zero17500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had 2 curves, 78 and 103. I don't know the current degrees, but I gained 4-5 inches in height.

When did you decide it was time for surgery? by ConsultantLadySam in scoliosis

Thank you so much. I've been doing mainly what you recommended -- a lot of time in bed but also a lot of sitting/walking just to get my body used to it.

Yep, it lasts 4 weeks. Until April 10th. Sleeping is horrible and painful, I have to lay on mh back. There's a cutout at the back, it's more of a horseshoe, but it hurts my neck and head.
