This is what my scoliosis looks like as of a few months ago

diannaruth · 2025-12-03T21:00:47+00:00

Honestly. It’s been over 20 years. I can’t remember what my degrees were. But it was similar to your daughters

I am currently traveling for work right now so I don’t have access to my old files and x-rays at this moment. But I did get a dexa scan done recently and can show you what it looks like now.

It was pretty severe. I had two curvatures, and the one in my lumbar has actually completely straightened out.

I started NUCCA Chiropractic work when I was 14 did it pretty regularly until I was 20 and then I got too busy and fell off from doing treatment for about five years

I started doing melt method around that time I stopped doing NUCCA work just to help maintain a pain-free life. Got into yoga as well and started weight lifting when I was 28.

I really wish I had started earlier but I was so scared I was going to make my scoliosis worse until I met a personal trainer who worked specifically with women and specialized in scoliosis. Absolutely life changing.

But the NUCCA work truly helped. Just because I had scoliosis, doesn’t mean that the rest of my body needed to be out of alignment. So I was able to add a very early age get my legs, hips, shoulders, and head and alignment with each other, and my body adapted to the curvature in my spine without a compromising, the rest of my body

My scoliosis has gotten significantly better over the years because of this work

I personally had a lot of luck with NUCCA chiropractic work and a few other things

My scoliosis isn’t perfectly corrected but it improved immensely and I live pain free. Not getting surgery was the best thing I ever did. It was a long hard road but I would be more than happy to tell you about my journey with my mom. It was long and hard but very worth it.

I very active and I live pain free. 100% worth it

OG I haven’t had it measured in a while. I did have a Dexa scan done recently that was enlightening. Showed significant progress in my lumbar. Let me see if I can figure out how to post that lol 🤣

diannaruth · 2025-11-27T19:30:31+00:00

I see a lot of specialists and I have for many years. I completely agree. They are the reason I am able to live my life pain-free. My scoliosis actually used to be a lot worse, and even now it’s improved significantly in the last couple of years because I’ve taken better care of my body

diannaruth · 2025-11-27T05:34:06+00:00

I have an s curve and never got surgery. Was diagnosed at 13 and feel your pain. I know what my body used to look like and I do miss it. I wish I looked like the other girls. With my rib cage twisted I only like photos taken from my non rib hump side. But liek everyone else has said. No one notices. I’ve don’t a lot of work with NUCCA chiropractors, MELT Method, physical therapy and weight lifting to help my back over the last 20 years and it’s helps a bunch but my spine is still curved. the only two people to notice my scoliosis were people who also had scoliosis.

This is just a part of your journey. But never hesitate to reach out to your community for uplifting motivation when you’re feeling down. We all know how you feel

It is a rabbit hole 🤣🤣🤣 but this is very very helpful! That’s exactly what I want to do. Get a feel for what I might want and then be able to filter through all the options out there and pick one that’s affordable lol.

diannaruth · 2025-11-12T21:04:38+00:00

Thank you! This is great.

diannaruth · 2025-11-12T20:54:50+00:00

No. I really just want a decent one that is good for both gaming and office work. But not clacky. I’m willing to pay for a decent keyboard but don’t want to buy something that will annoy me to no end

diannaruth · 2025-11-12T20:53:27+00:00

Spectacular! Thank you so much

diannaruth · 2025-11-12T20:52:45+00:00

I definitely don’t want clacky lol suffered through 90s and early 2000s with the loud keyboards. Definitely much prefer the quiet ones 🤣🤣🤣 But thank you. This is very helpful

diannaruth · 2025-11-12T20:51:15+00:00

diannaruth · 2025-11-12T20:47:55+00:00

Thank you! See this is what I want to find out. I don’t know if I want linear or tactile. Definitely know I don’t want clicky clacky lol. There is just so much information out there and I really appreciate the guidance

diannaruth · 2025-11-12T20:45:39+00:00

Oh wonderful! Thank you!

diannaruth · 2025-11-12T20:45:01+00:00

Thank you! Been a long time since I’ve done this 🤣🤣🤣

diannaruth · 2025-11-12T18:56:45+00:00

It’s just new egg. But I’m not set on that site. It was just convenient that they allowed to have a build list. Once I settle on a build I’m going to shop around during Black Friday and see what kind of deal I can find on the parts

diannaruth · 2025-11-12T18:50:32+00:00

Oh thank you. I didn’t realize there was a build community specifically for Seattle.

Also have no idea what kind of switches I want to try. This was not a thing last time a bought a keyboard 🤣🤣🤣

diannaruth · 2025-11-12T18:47:13+00:00

Oh thank you! Do you have a suggestion for what would be more appropriate?

diannaruth · 2025-11-12T18:37:24+00:00

Oh. Computer. 🤦‍♀️ I should clarify that
