Got some bad news from the doctor today(neck pics 7/6/10)

Well yesterday I finally got to see a doctor about my back from the wreck, he took some x-rays, and today I got the results.... He told he that I have Scoliosis, my lower disc's in my back are pretty messed up, and where your neck is supposed to have a slight curve backward, mine curves forward. For the next 6 to 8 weeks I have to go and have therapy 3 times a week to see if he can get my back to heal right from the accident, but the scoliosis and my neck are here to stay. Hopefully he will be able to get my back well enough that I won't have to rely on walking with this cane, or at least for a few more years. Here's a pic of my back from the front side to show you how much of a curve my back has to it. If I can remember to I will get a pic on Monday of my neck.

Damn that sucks to hear man. I have a friend with scoliosis and has gotten to live a pretty normal life with few problems. Therapy will do wonders man. keep the head up and expectations at a realistic level but high in that realistic level. work on it little at a time. I hate hearing anybody with news like this or getting in a wreck but maybe the wreck happened so that you would be able to find the scoliosis and maybe still have a little bit of time to actually work with it. Hope everything goes well man.

Physiotherapists work wonders. I married one!

If anything good came of your wreck, this got found and you get treated now to hopefully help a bit, and prevent progression. All I can say is apply yourself. The physiotherapist is just there. The outcome depends 90% on how seriously you take it, and follow exercise routines, etc. Good luck!

Damn sorry to hear that man, I'm sure therapy will do the trick though!

sorry tuna

DANG MAN THAT SUCKS HOPE EVERYTHING GETS BETTER MAN

now wonder your back is curved you got that ball thing up your ass and some other strange device hanging down below the ball....















just kiddin. sucks that your just now finding out about the scoliosis. they did checks on everyone is middle and high school for that around here.

Yeah my girlfriends dad was making a joke about that earlier, lol. I'm really hoping this guy can get me fixed up, but if there's one thing I've learned in my 23 year life is, to expect and prepare for the worst, that way if something bad does come of it, its not such a letdown. Just everybody please keep me in your thoughts and or prayers for the next 6 to 8 weeks, I got alot of therapy coming up. Got it started today, and I'm sittin here wide awake in pain, I'm not really looking forward to the next few weeks, but I have to do it in any hopes of getting better.

pain makes us stronger man

make sure they give you a hot therapist chick when you go to therapy that will give ya something to look at i mean look forward to ..
