I thought i should tell you..

[jewels313]

this is a really downer on my life because im soo active in sports!
We were hving physicals at the school.. and a doctor asked me to bend over so he can check my spine.. and he felt a little curve in my back and he thought i should go check it out but it prob wont be a big deal.. so i went to my doctor.. and they had to remove my wort with a blade.. which hurt.. anyway.. then i went to the hospital to get a scoliosis xray test.. and i got the results back within the next two days.. and i found out that i not only have one curve in my back but i hve TWO curves that are beyond the normal degree of a curve.. and i was diagnosed with Extensive Scoliosis on two parts of my spine.. and i have to get a back brace.. which really sucks.. and i get it during basketball season which is my fav sport! and i dont know how bad its gonna hurt..
for those who dont kno what scoliosis is.. its a curve in ur spine in other words my back looks like this...S... just not as extreme..

OMG! jewel...

are you fine? i remember when we are talking about your basketball tournament and i know how awful it is to be not a part of the game much more if it's because of a back injury,that's crucial!
hope you're doing good!

*my basketball team are scheduled to play this September to defend our championship..but i'm still not sure if i can still play..not because of an injury but because of conflict of schedule..i'm having my practice teaching.. now that sucks...i know i can play but time doesn't allow me!

*biiig hugs* I have the same problem, just not that bad! I didn´t get a back brace, but my back hurts for years now, how much it hurts depends on how I´m sitting or standing! I´m doing sports to solve this problem (my docter told me to make physical therapy) but it doesn´t work!
I´m so sorry, I hope it gets better, soon!

*hugs*

Oh Sweetie, that really blows. There's nothing worse than having to miss out on something you really love because of physical problems. I'm with Chuck though, seeing a chiropractor is a good idea. Also, there's this therapy out there called Spine Aline or something. It's when someone lightly touches all the pressure points in your back until they heat up, then over the next couple of days your spin re-aligns itself. My sister had it done by a 'witch doctor' when she was playing state basketball and got a stress fracture in her spine. It cut the time she was meant to rest in half. Then I had it done after being in a car accident, because my neck was out for months afterward and it was causing headaches. From the next day onwards, not a single headache. You should seriously look into it.

thnx. you guys.. i am seeing a chiropracter in september and my mums probably going to send my prescription for a back brace to a specialist so i can get a flexable one.. and i hve talked to people and they said i may not hve to wear it all the time.. and i will prob get to play sports.. buts its all an educated guess.. lol.. im in good spirits now. and my back is not bothering me too bad.. my lower back (curve) is starting to be sore.. so we'll see what happens...

i get my brace when bball starts jhem! haha Good luck at ur game and i really hope you get to play!! it tears me apart just thinking about no playing in a game!!
