Having an idiopathic scoliosis is no joke...

If one has a severe scoliosis curvature, it is synonymous to pain. Yes, indeed surely they do suffer from the agony of eternal back pains. Like me with a 30 degree bend, and I pray to God it won't zoom to 40, one that needs surgery...that's why I religiously wear my Thoraco-lumbo-sacral brace. It guards my everyday movement. And I can't surely live without it. I freak out whenever there's a chance that I'll misplace it,or I may lose it anywhere. I got one that's made for me exclusively when I was hospitalized and I'd feel awkward using it outside because everybody seemed to be looking at me. I just use it at home. A Japanese-friend  gave me 5 braces with magnets at the back that help heal back pains. And I bought another one at Mercury drugstore that costs a little less than P3000. I live in the world of braces...and I also have 4 different kind of corsets, a close-fitting undergarment worn usually by most women to help look slimmer. I bought a new one last day. One good thing I notice, it helps trim my tummy...but the sad part of it is, it irritates my tummy skin. 

Now, being health conscious and with my curvature...I have to lose a lot of unwanted fabs that exacerbate my condition. I am now losing a lot of weight...thanks to you dawg...and many thanks to my OB-GYNE doctor for her positive suggestion.

Keeping slim is easy if you have enough will to do it. It's good to be fit. But for me it is a must lest I'd be in pain forever.

I vow to lose more to stay healthy...young looking and it's just that I want to stay longer so to speak!

A double sigh...

......sigh! Oh my...just got my xray result and I just found out that I now got a Levoscoliosis. That means the convexity is very much on the left. I am... and I know 'coz I make it a point to study on line about my agony...I digress...it's not about agony pala cause there's a lot more painful things than my backpain...there's emotionally painful pa more than what I feel today and I am still blest I knew it from the off...and well, to continue, I am now constrained and restrained...so I can't do much work at home...what a bummer I get!!!

But I am thankful enough 'coz I'm not gonna die yet!!! God is sooooo good to me inspite of my slip-ups. Well, He knows my heart...more than others.

God is good....!!!

My awful back pain...

With scoliosis, it means eternal sciatic and back pain. Yes, eternal I mean...and it holds true in my experience. It's quite hard for me to be kept standing or sitting for a long period of time. Pain is radiating down my left leg and it numbs my pelvic area. Having this awful back pain is really a hindrance to my interest. We used to go jogging, biking, playing badminton and also wall-tennis...whoah I missed those things. And this pain is the aggravator.

Thanks Mike and Gerhard, for giving me some good pointers and exercises to help me manage those pain. They told me to avoid things that'll only exacerbate my current medical condition. Some of the exercises that really help is the squats done in a Smith Machine, the controlled tract-like system in the gym.

I have to sign out first, will be doing something very important.
So long........

Taking time out to relax...& get that pain off!

I am addicted to this new Thermo-Accupressure Therapy, a new concept on medical device that uses chiropractic principles. It has a tourmanium ceramics that produces mystical far-infrared rays. Also with moxibustion and finger pressure therapeutics. It is a bed actually. It simply eases those sciatic back pains. Do check it out!!!

Saw my back-brace....

While talking to a friend over the phone kanina...I just saw my white back-brace...Yahoo!!!
Sobrang importante kc yan sa akin...I can't live without it. Parang kasama ko na yan habang buhay....This scolio is making me a handicap. Sometimes malakas...then in one moment very weak....and I hate taking pain relievers...I just rest if weak and painful....But somehow I came to live with it na.
