I got my surgery at 13 and I’m 24 now. I’m very happy I did it back then 🙏🏼
Maria, the rods etc. looks so invasive. I know a very petite small boned young girl that is going under the knife in January. What effect does it have on your range of motion? If they fuse many vertebrae how do you bend over?
How many levels did you have fused?
@@michelledonnanwhodoesntkno5771 i was restricted from exercising for 6 months after surgery at 13, no lifting no running etc. I was able to resign normal activities after. I was never to athletic so I didn’t do much but that doesn’t mean you can’t! For woman I would prob say is hip mobility is something to ask abt
I also done my surgery, before 10 days.. No can't turn right or left without having some pain and it's very difficult toooo... 😒
I have bend about 53 degrees
Is this is situation familiar to you?? Please reply 🙏
@@shemeemas4819 how do you feel after the surgery please how did it go and any complications? My daughter is being considered to take surgery i want to know feed backs
My niece is in surgery right now,, which is why I'm watching this video.
How is she doing now? I hope everything's fine
Scoliosis of the Spine is what my grandson has and they are talking surgery
Breaks my heart, Praying for a miracle
Wishing your grandson all the best!
Good luck to you and your family!
Is it really necessary?? I have it all my life and i am fine
@@dellchica2373 well it is peoples choice at the end of the day, it is nessesary if the curve gets to a really large curve and that can cause so pressure on nerves, and in bad cases it can shorten life by putting pressure on the heart, lungs, and important organs. But i don't know everything and am not a doctor so get some information from a doctor 😊👍
@@dellchica2373 you know that you can die from it, right?
"reguarding when surgery is recommended... If your spine is continuing to progress into the surgical range" What poetry- geez
I'm not going to wait until im in total pain, give me the surgery now fuck the brace
Jesus loves you all so very much! God bless!!
Jesus doesn't exist.
@@chrisdestroyer0732 should i go brainwash people into believing that there is a magical grandpa in the sky surrounded by men with wings, who's resposible for all the good in the world but none of the bad?
@@chrisdestroyer0732 "our disobedience, bible, angels"... Yeah that's very interesting bro XD

@@MATomaso can’t judge a book by it’s cover if u yourself have never read or open the bible with is very judgemental.
@@Leah-bn4nb in the next comment somebody will tell me i can't say that Harry Potter is a book of fantasy wrote by a person if i never read it.
*ITS cover btw.
Very informative ! Thank you
i genuinely enjoyed recovery. yes it was exhausting but the nurses were so kind
Thank you for commenting this, it was very reassuring
if you have the chance to get surgery and need it ...do it. don't back out. it's honestly the best thing you can do for yourself
nice animation. would be good to do an update on the treatment options now, e.g. magnetic rods.
Did this when I was 3 years old. I remember so many horrifying things from that week.
What? 3 years old???
@@MATomaso yep, unfortunately I had to do it at such young age. But I’m happy because it’s over
@@afe_1766 how are you now?
@@MATomaso I’m good. I don’t feel any pain or things in my back with is good. But actually yesterday I did a knee surgery. One of my legs is taller than the other which is normal. But the difference between my legs became to big which can give you pain in different places. But the knee surgery was nothing compared to the surgery on my back. But I’m glad that you asked.
@@MATomaso the reason i searched this video up was actually because I was a bit nervous about the knee surgery and therefore I decided to search up these surgery things
I have a question regarding this information, it was said there that growing stops after that, so if a child needs this operation, how is it going to work for him?
Ang anak ko may severe scoliosis hindi namin kaya ang halaga ng operasyon napaka mahal at wala kaming pera mahirap lang kami dati kaming member ng 4ps kaya pinapanalangin ko na lang s Panginoon n sana may taong maawa sa amin at tulungan siya na ma operahan
I just found out I have scoliosis and I’m 29 years old and I don’t know if I need sugery I also have a facet arthropathy and mild narrow forminal along with neurofibromatisis but already new that one the other 3 things I didn’t know about
Did you end up getting the surgery for your scoliosis?
im getting my surgery match 22nd and im really scared cause its my first major surgery and i have a huge fear of surgery
i probably have to get it to i have the same fear praying for u 🙏
my back would hurt so much I’m crying dude when it’s over 😂
Nah bro im throwing a literally whole party after 5 years
@@SpecialZah 5 YEARS???
Woahhh you stayed strong,but you are really scaring me now since i have that too 😶
I have scoliosis my spine it's not straight like it supposed to do
How much the surgery cost???
I got this done when I was 13-14 I think back in 2003/04.. honestly as bad as it sounds in the surgery, you really don't notice it or feel pain at all. Tho that does depend on the person doing the surgery.. tho I did not know at the time that you won't grow anymore after it's done... so yeah that's the downside.. but hey better than suffering breathing or organ damage in the future. lol
Do you still have mobility to do sports and things?? That’s the only thing putting me off surgery atm
@@hollyleivers6749 Yeah, it's just to straighten the spine and once its fully healed the rods aren't really required anymore. You still have mobility once your full healed.. depends on the sport I think.. then again i was never into doing sports so I'm not really sure, I would suggest talking to the doctor about it all and see what you can and can't do afterwards. I got it done at an early age that it just became part of daily life for me.. so what's normal for me is probably different for other people.
@@hollyleivers6749 Again I would really talk to your doctor about the does and don'ts after surgery. Everyone's lifestyle is different..
I dont rlly wanna do surgery cuz its painful but my back is 19° rn from the brace. I started wearing it in December and im glad that im having a chance to get my bsck normal with out surgery. But to all who needs to do surgery dont worry ur not alone many ppl need to do it also and gl
surgery is only talked about after you hit 50 degrees, im at 85 degrees and im 17 soon to be 18, i will be getting surgery in aprox 5 to 6 months.
@@MrDraco762 oh- well I hope your gonna be alright I hope u will get through it easily
@@SpecialZah thank you
Idk that surgery look like some stuff you would feel even while being asleep
I am a survivor of scoliosis.
Survivor lmao scoliosis doesn’t kill you🤨😂
@@jorgecordoba5148 yeah but the surgery almost did.
@@trailee3197 how
@@trailee3197 what happened?
@@MATomaso i think that they are meaning that they felt a lot of pain or they were in a tragic situation with this problem
Is VBT a temporary solution for scoliosis or is it permanent as spinal fusion ?
Can a 16 year old have vbt?
Shall you replace vbt with spinal fusion when young children get older??
I would appreciate it if you can help me ☺️
Hi Maya, you can check out our latest webinar recording for more information on non-fusion vs spinal fusion surgery. We hope this helps! czcams.com/video/xybpQy-_2gU/video.html
@@SettingScoliosisStraight thank you
Did you try physical therapy first before thinking of surgery
I have 35 degree scoliosis and some doctors told me to do surgery and some doctors told me don't go for surgery and do every day exercise 💪.
Now what I have to do surgery or exercise
It depends on your age. I wouldn’t do it with a 35 degree curve unless there are other issues. I waited until age 53 to have this surgery. Good luck!
@@elainerinne3468 i m 18 years old maam, thank you for great advice ☺
@@whiteflower7620 Try to look for very specialized physical therapist that will help you to compenzate the scoliosis.. 18 is a great age where you stil can affect your spine state. Please please do the most of the specialized excercises that you can , because the surgery should be THE LAST option.. its very limiting, and hard to live with.
I reccomed SM System-spiral stabilization excercises and DNS (dynamic neuromuscular stabilization) excercises - those are very helpful and effective techniques of Czech professionals. Please Please, consider everything before you undergo spinal surgery. Im future physiotherapist and went throught scoliosis from childhood till now. It will never be fully treated, but everything can be compenzated to a very good state of living.
Please find yourself a specialised physiotherapist that will do everything for the well being of your spine. You will have to excercise every day, maybe more than once, but it will be ALL WORTH IT!
@@ssss22 Thank so much for your good advice, I wish I meet physiotherapist doctor like you . You will be great doctor in future .
@@whiteflower7620 when did you find out you had it? when you were a baby or older? thank you
I found out when I was 42 that I had scoliosis and spondylitis and it's in my lumbar and has over the last 2 years became so aggressively active by moving up to the middle of my spine now s bending as well as twisting my ribs . I'm seeing my consultant surgeon on 1st of July and am definitely going to push for surgery.. I am so bent forward and also leaning to the right. I'm constantly in pain. I'm so depressed and it's now beginning to affect my hip on my left and my right knee.due to the way I'm walking and posture. I hope they don't say that it's to far gone or that I'm to old at 50 yrs now? If there is any advice any one who knows what there talking about can give me I would be so grateful. Thankyou

Scoliosis surgery does affect male fertility?
Medicine say that although spinal fusion in general has been associated with infertility and erectile dysfunction risk - due to the fact that during the procedure some nerves can be cut or otherwise damaged one particular type of fusion carries more risks than the other
I found out when I was thirteen and mine when from30%-75%smh I def had the implant but I still have pain every weather chain
How old were you when you got the surgery and are you glad that you got it
Damn the implant stay in the body forever.
Back surgery is a total scan!
Looks painful😩😩
hey everyone, I'm actually here to say that if you should have a scoliosis surgery just go for it, i did it 3 weeks ago & it wasn't that hard
How are you now compared to before the surgery?
Not hard!? When I did it it was like a nightmare.
@@afe_1766 why?
@@MATomaso well I vomited blood, saw spiders and monsters everywhere because of the medicine and I had to learn how to walk again. There was one more thing that was probably the worst of it all and that was like a straw with these pointy sharp things that they putted in me. I’m not going in to the details but it was painful.
@@MATomaso but I was 3 years old and it was a big surgery so that probably explains why it wasn’t really a great experience.
Yep, very primitive, same rods and same technology for the last 100 years ! They couldn't come with some new shape rods, new material, new thechnik to avoid fussion in adults. Shame on the today scoliosis doctors !!!!
