Dextroscoliosis (scoliosis)

[miclen20]

^sis, naoperhana na sister mo pero she wears braces padin? and she exercises pa?

[creamypeach]

hi po, i have this one too. my PT friend told me one time to bend over. and said " congratulations, your like a beauty queen" i said why, kasi daw halos lahat ng beauty queen may scoliosis. i dont know if he's just making me comfortable and not to freak out about it. gosh , i have a plan to apply for flight attendant pa naman. sabi naman nya, maliit lang daw at kaya pa i theraphy. pag natheraphy ba, nawawala din ba? thankx!

[vixen19]

^^yeah, i feel like a beauty queen! LOL. but kidding aside, i find it annoying having to explain to people that i have some sort of deformity. buti na lang it's not too obvious.

and yeah, at times it may seem i'm using my back pain as an excuse to do whatever. but really, i'm particularly careful when working out since i cannot strain my back muscles that much. i wish more people would understand the pain we go through...

^smoochyz, female bones usually stop growing at age 18-20. depends pa rin on the individual. how would you know? well, the only definite way of knowing is if the epiphyseal line or plate in your long bones have closed. you can prolly only be sure when you have your long bones scanned (x-ray, CT scan, MRI, etc.).

pag may scolio ka and your bones have already stopped growing, you can only prevent further curvature. sa pagkakaintindi ko, hindi na maibabalik sa dati ang angle ng spine unless magpa-surgery ka. proper posture and exercise aids in prevention and strengthens our back muscles.

I think I need to see an ortho due to the ff:
-unusual rib hump
-back ache especially when the weather is really cold

Bago ko magenrol sa gym pangangalay lang nafifeel ko sa likod, after a month yung rib hump and back ache na. Papacheck ko na to buti covered siya ng healthcard ko.

Kelangan ko bang i-stop pagggym ko? Sayang naman.

sis better ask an ortho doctor kung ano lang iyong mga pwede mo gawin na exercise if ever nga na may scolio ka din...

[stupidgal]

^thanks eeatrice!

hindi ko nga malalalaman na signs na pala yun ng scolio kungdi ko inopen tong thread na to.

hi there..if scoliosis try to see a chiropractor baka pwede pa adjust yan kung early stage pa at kung hindi naman may treatment sila na non surgical.try Dr. Camara, Dr. Pizarro or Dr. Alexander in intercare along kalayaan. try to call their numbers kasi i go there also for appointments...hereis the num. [please do not post contact details here, if someone wants to know the number, please send a pm to this member instead.]

ako din diagnosed with 8 degrees scolio on the right. hindi pa ko nagpupunta sa ortho pero isisingit ko sa sked ko, ayoko nang lumala e.. 

[glamtasha]

me too, when i was 14 or 15 years old i was diagnosed that i have scoliosis, before ako magpacheck-up ang sakit palagi ng likod ko and neck.. palagi ako pinapagalitan ng daddy ko kasi kuba daw ako. So ayun nag- x ray ako, malaki daw yung wings ko and 35 degrees yata curve [textspeak!] spine ko di ko na maalala basta kapag umabot ng 40 degrees i have to wear braces daw so thankfully, di umabot ng 40 degrees, i just have to attend PT sessions, 3 sessions lang yata napuntahan ko, and they advised me to exercise regularly, pero di ko nagagawa dahil tamad ako mag-exercise..


so now im 20, i have to go to an orthopedic for check-up? kinakabahan talaga ako kasi baka kapag tumanda ako super kuba na ako, o malumpo ako o whatsoever.. saan ba maganda pumuntang orthopedic clinic/hospital?

[glamtasha]

while back reading this thread, naiiyak ako, parang napipicture out ko na itsura ko pagtanda ko! waaahh! baka maging half na [textspeak!] height ko in my 50's! ininom ko na agad kaninang umaga [textspeak!] anlene ko, 2 months na akong di umiinom ng milk dahil super nasusuka ako everytime umiinom ako kahit 2 years na ako nagmimilk.. and amazingly nagustuhan ko na bigla [textspeak!] lasa ng milk at hindi na ako nasusuka! haha! weird!   i promised to myself, from this day on, magiipon na ako ng madaming calcium for my bones... bagong buhay mode...

i have dextroscoliosis thoracic spine since i was 14 years old

i am required to have test every year to monitor the curve/degrees

according to the doctor, it's inherited from the female relative like my grandmother father side or mother side, my mom, my aunt, or great grandmother

being in a sitting position for more than 3 hours should be avoided, same with driving

carrying of heavy things should also be avoided. i once carried a pail of water and was bed-ridden for two days

during pregancy, doctor is consulted

therapy helps but it won't cure

there are available support for the back that can be worn/used

[fabulouz_girl]

 Me too I have dextroscoliosis..nalaman ko when I was in 4th year highschool..malamang nakuha ko ito nung nagcheer dancer ako..

 I tried undergoing PT sessions pero ayun natigil at tinamad ako.

 Natatakot lang ako kasi pag nanganak ako..baka mahirapan ako at CS na talaga ang kahihitnan ko nito.

[eissej]

i was diagnosed with scoliosis way back 1998, i was freshman that time and nalaman ko lang na may ganito ako dahil sa xray nung college ako. that time mild pa lang and c-curved pa lang siya. naka 2 sessions lang ako ng PT kase that time schooling pa ako. pero dko nalaman yung degree ng scolio ko... tapos hanggang umabot na sa thoracic yung pagka curve niya kaya naging thoraco-lumbar na scolio ko and inverted S-shaped na siya so up to now, dko na alam lagay niya. and regarding sa giving birth hindi naman ako na CS, medyo hindi lang bumuka yung pelvic bones ko pero nakayanan pa rin kahit malaki si baby...

[glamtasha]

^ as far as i remember sabi ng doctor ko S-shaped din [textspeak!] spine ko.. kinakabahan talaga ako, sana it's not yet too late for me, i need advise from doctors tlaga.. anyone can recommend me a good hospital and doctor?  ayoko na bumalik sa UST eh baka pagalitan lang ako kasi di ko na binalikan [textspeak!] mga PT Sessions ko..

[Cookiemonster11]

parecommend naman po ng doctor for scolio. thanks!

[baby_lj]

swimming helps scoliosis...

[nymphadora]

yes sis, parecommend naman ng doctor. i have also discovered that i mild scolioses when I had an xray.

[aubb]

i also have this. i also didn't 'feel' it. some cases could be congenital i guess. just try your best to keep your back staight. kasi when this develops it could be painful that you have to go for PT sessions.

[gandahkoh]

Meron din ako nito.  Ngayon ko nga lang nalaman dahilsa required APe sa office.

May suspetsa na ako dati dahil lagi sumasakit ang likod ko and true enough meron nga.

Bukas punta na ako sa doctor.  Sana hindi malala kundi di ko nammabubuhat mga baby ko

[reb_woods072683]

meron din ako nito. 24 degrees nung last na nagpa xray ako nung Feb. Masakit siya pag malamig at tsaka pag namali ng pwesto sa pagtulog. Nagpa physical therapy din ako 2 yrs ago. Plan ko ulit magpa therapy this year.
