Disadvantages of fusion-less scoliosis

-
Hello everyone,

It feels like I haven't done a scoliosis blog post in a while, so I thought I would talk about some of the disadvantages of fusion-less scoliosis. I would be lying if I told you I never thought what my life and back would be like if I didn't have the fusion surgery.
However, after thinking about it for a while I know I made the right decision for me personally.
Having a spinal fusion is completely individual, your consultant can recommend the procedure, but at the end of the day it's you who decides whether to have it or not.
I had my spinal fusion surgery nearly 2 years ago now and I was really happy with my results. The procedure was 7 and a half hours long, but well worth it.
Spinal fusion is no walk in the park, but the results can be amazing. However, like any operation they are pros and cons. I had some nerve damage in my leg and numbness on my back, but I thought this was a small price to pay all things considered.

Having a spinal fusion not only improved the appearance of my back, but it also improved my quality of life. I cannot imagine what my back would be like if I hadn't of had the surgery.
Spinal fusion is scary and it can be risky. However, I couldn't imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't of had the procedure. I rarely experience back pain, I do get aches but I honestly don't care anymore. I am just so happy to be able to live a pain free life.






Scoliosis did change my life as cheesy as that sounds. Without the surgery I don't think I would be as aware and conscious of the world around me. Having scoliosis opened my eyes to things that I wasn't even aware of i.e. chronic pain. The surgery was the best option for me and I found a strength within myself that I didn't even know I had. Scoliosis shaped my personality and the person I am today.

I found the recovery difficult, but at the end of the day I am so happy that I did it and the results I received are honestly amazing.

If you are thinking of having the spinal fusion surgery I would recommend it. It will be hard, but it is well worth it and you will have a much more straight spine!!

Thank you for reading.

Max Factor lip kit - review

Hi guys, Today I thought I'd do a review on an item I randomly came across whilst looking around the boots makeup stands. I was actually pretty excited when I saw that max factor had released there own take on lip kits. They had so many different colour options, not going to lie it was pretty overwhelming, I didn't know where to start, but the main thing that struck me about theses lip kits, was that they included a balm to lock in moisture, as there is nothing worse than having dry lips. I thought this was such a genius idea, and as a result I really wanted to test them out and let you guys know my thoughts and opinion on the Max Factor lip kits. - Max Factor lipfinity lip kit: spiritual 180 Not only is the colour beautiful, but the staying power and finish that this lip kit gives is amazing. The balm that comes with the liquid lipstick, is very moisturising and leaves the lips feeling really soft. As far as I've been aware, there is virtually no transfer with t

Testing Barry M!

Hello everyone, It was recently my birthday and I received some Barry M products. I have tried a few things from Barry M before, but it was a long time ago. So I thought I would do a review on the products I received to refresh my own memory and to see if Barry M is any good. On first impressions I really liked the packaging, it’s both unique and pretty yet functional. Barry M Unicorn primer drops - The unicorn primer drops really intrigued me I hadn’t tried anything like that before and I was pleasantly surprised. When I applied the drops they smelt like exotic fruits which I really like and they made my skin feel refreshed and a little tacky to help the makeup go on and stay put much nicer. Barry M Holographic lip topper - I have used the Barry m holographic lip topper a few times now and I really like it. Some holographic products are too holographic to even wear and look nice. However, this lip topper is just the right balance of holographic which I really like. It me

Hydrotherapy treatment for scoliosis

Hello everyone, Hydrotherapy also known as aquatic therapy, can be used to help influence body alignments.  There are 5 key features which help with the treatment of hydrotherapy, Buoyancy, the upwards pressure of the water eases stress on muscles and joints, soothing the aches and pains that scoliosis can cause. The warm water within a pool can help to relax the muscles and body. viscosity, the thickness of the water prompts gentle resistance from the muscles and turbalance can also help with scoliosis because when a body is placed within water it naturally moves in order to balance consequently excersising the muscles. The last factor in which contributes towards Hydrotherapy is known as Hydrostatic pressure which provides a natural relief for joint swelling. Hydrotherapy is good for scoliosis patients, as it can help with flexibility and movement it can also help to reduce the pain and aches within the muscles. Hydrotherapy is often suggested to patients who suffer with pain as
