13 years post scoliosis surgery: Q&A | Life with Scoliosis

Hi everyone,

In this video, I answer some questions I received via Instagram and TikTok about what my life is like 13 years post my scoliosis spinal fusion surgery.

I had scoliosis at age 24 and was fused T3-L3. My scoliosis was over 80 degrees at the time of surgery and I had a double S curve.

DISCLAIMER: All cases of scoliosis and experiences with scoliosis surgery and recovery are different. These are my own experiences and may differ from that of others. I'm not a medical professional. Please ALWAYS seek medical advice before taking part in exercise post-scoliosis surgery or taking any supplements. Always ensure you have the all-clear of your surgeon/Dr before exercising.
