Were getting an aquatic center this summer here and I'm going to try some stuff there. I can swim but it hurts my back. It doesn't bend any way really but especially backwards. Still I'm gonna try when it opens. Its indoor so it should be all year round.Can you swim or do any type of water workout?
Pain won't go away, I've had it since I was 13 from a very mild form of a birth defect that started the whole mess that I didnt know I had till the first fusion at 23. I worked thru 7 surgeries but it's a losing battle so its manage the pain and keep the surgeries as far apart as possible. The slightest wrong movement will damage a joint or disc and it just won't heal. There is too much stress on the ones not fused now.
I do what I do to keep my weight down and activity up. For sanity. I can't not do it cause I got up over 350 lbs about 10 years aago. 230 to 235 now.
My youngest daughter had severe scoliosis. It was to the point she was failing to thrive. We Found Scottish Rite hospital here and they fixed her in 5th grade. She is fused from mid c spine to mid L spine. 3 other kids were fine but I hope there is nothing genetic there to pass on.
Sorry, ramblings of an insomniac.
