Some
people are over panicky over “Scoliosis... Skoliosis.. SKOLIOSIS...
SCOooooLIOSIS” . The child had no abnormal spine curve but due to
the child is in growing stage yet the child is being send to the
spine specialist. Some parents even insist o have x-ray.
Some
are in the opposite. Wish to keep ignoring spine surgery even their
child is having abnormal severe curve. They rather do all sort of alternatives eg
buy RM3K “special shoes”, corset, send for intensive chiropractor
treatment, Tui Nah, chee kong, Accupunture, Ayurvedic, form prayer
chain hopefully that the abnormal curve can disappear overnight and
some even send to the bomoh. For this group do you want to wait to see
your child battling with shortness of breath, pain around rib cage,
backache, could not find the comfort position to sleep ,sit and only able to walk less than 10 steps? Have
excruciating pain when leg put down to the ground. One Kidney need to
remove or lung got puncture?
You
are in dilemma now? Everyday you being feed with feedback from some
people from the scoliosis forum that they regretted to have their
spinal surgery years ago. Did you really dig into details? When they
had their ops? Usually more than 10 years ago. Some even had tragic
car accident that cause the implant fail. For those who had tragic
car accident even the person is without any implant would also have
high probability of being paralyze. Everyday things around us
improve. Years ago, phones function is only SMS text msg and voice
call. Do you think spine medical technology is stagnant and still
stay backward ? We should not limit God . He is very creative. He do
use the hands and minds of surgeons as HIS tools.
After spinal
fusion, a few vertebrae is being fused and lock up as one bones.
Dreams and vision need to be re-align after spinal fusion? NO. I took up
spinal fusion about 18mth ago. From my experience I am still able to
do what I enjoy after my restriction are lifted on the 6thmonths
post ops. I still have steady hands to hold up my camera equipment
that is without image stabilizer to capture birds on flight. I will
share later with you all those Oriental Honey Buzzard photos that I
took during March 2015 during their migration flight.
My
fussed vertebrae of T3 – L2 have no complain of the recent 40KM
plus per way of bumpy, rocky unpaved road that leads to Endau Rompin
Kampung Peta.
In short I have better quality life and health after spinal fusion to stop my
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. In fact I am now planning to
witness Vulture migration at Australian Based Camp, Nepal later part of this year.
