The scoliosis I believe I've had for some time, but I had a car accident that exasperated it. This has caused me to now have spinal reconstruction, which I'm looking into at the moment. I've had MRI scans and all other scans and I've got to have a nerve conductivity test as well. So, but the main issue was that the car accident has exasperated scoliosis.
So I've had scoliosis since, so for about six years now, and it all started when I was in high school. It wasn't inherited from anyone, no one in my family has it, it was just from me. I'm left-handed and I would, I would hit at a rate that my muscles couldn't keep up with, so I had a left scoliosis, which is going towards your heart. Most people have it towards the right, but I had it towards the left, and so that is bad because it can crush your heart over time. But basically, for me, I never understood like how to help myself, like I was stretching, I was exercising, and nothing really worked out for me. And I realized that a lot of it comes on like when I'm physically in pain from stress, and I know that stress is shown in a lot of different ways, and I never thought that I could get very stressed, but then I realized that that is why I hurt all the time, because I'm stressed, and that's the way that it's shown. So I don't necessarily like get nervous or get anxiety or anything like that, or not want to eat or anything like that, it's all shown physically, and it's just something I've never thought of before that I thought I'd put out here.
As far as I know, they don't know what causes scoliosis, which is very frustrating when it comes to healing and trying to find the best treatments for yourself. My mother has kyphosis and her father had kyphosis, but neither have scoliosis. One of my sisters had scoliosis. I have scoliosis. My other sisters, my brothers, they don't have it, so I'm not sure what causes it and I think that's a big frustration for a lot of people, because if we don't know why it does what it does, then how can we fix it?
So, I have idiopathic scoliosis, which means that it wasn't inherited by anybody in my family. I just don't really know where I got it from. It just maybe developed, like, maybe when I was like 11, 12, after my first period. I was a pretty active kid, so I did a lot of sports. I didn't really notice until, like, now. So, yeah.
