I returned from the chiropractor with GREAT news. 😒...A few years ago, I fell on a slide and hurt myself, but I didn't think it was serious. But after a few years with chronic pain in my mid to upper back, I went to see a doctor. The doctor told me I have scoliosis and a chipped T-5 disk in my back. I cannot jump on a trampoline, lift anything very heavy, and I shouldn't run at all. I feel...Handicapped now.😨😵 I can't exercise and have fun like I used to now. Sounds like I'm whining now, so I'll stop. But I'm wondering..Who all on this forum has a back condition? Chronic or otherwise?

How old are you?

Meeee!!!

I have scoliosis as well. I had it just barely bad enough to have to wear a back brace for two years... 😒 (In middle school, until I was done growing and the risk of it getting worse had passed)

I also had spondylolisthesis (I think I spelled it right...), which I had back surgery to correct at Christmas my freshman year of high school. In through my front and back. Now I have two rods and four screws in my back, and I get a little card proving it in case I make a metal detector go off.

So far, no such luck...😔

Let's just say I'm older than most people on here. And yes, it's constant pain. 💔

I definitely feel ya pain...tho i wouldnt look as myself as handy capped even tho myback issue effects everything i do on a daily basis...I've had 2 supposedly minor back surgeries...but I've come to learn their is nothing minor when it comes to a back procedure!! I had 2 micro disectomies, both a cause of my former occupation!! Leading to early retirement & many a long days on TW😜✌

I do. I have a birth defect. T 11, T 13 and L 1 ( I believe) are fused together on the inside. As I grew the inside didn't. So it curved (yes like a hunch) and causes 24/7 pain. Since my growth spurts till now it's nothing but pain. Not always bad pain, just annoying most of the time. All pain meds are useless to me due to over use. Daily pinched nerves that damn near drop me to my knees. But you get used to it lol. Can't do surgery as they would have to go in from the front. As those three discs are one solid bone now. Potential for death is really high they said. Doctors said I wouldn't be able to do much lifting and what not. HA I surprised them. I lift anything I can to stretch muscles out. Tho one wrong twist or pull could paralyze me. Still doesnt stop me. 😁

That's terrible. 😞...I'll pray for you! We're all in this together anyway. 👍
