Hello again to everyone. In my last blog i spoke about my journey for my second brace. Unfortunately, that spinecor brace didn't do much to my back.Once again i didn't take proper care of the brace and i took it off many times. Any chance i got to take off my brace i would do so. I started secondary school with my spinecor brace and it was very challenging because i didn't want to be different and be treated differently. So i often took off my brace many times to go to school. However, i did this at the expense of increasing my curvature.
As i look back i realized that my solution was simple. I could of told the truth about my back, but some how i was afraid i would have been an outcast as most teenagers including myself tries to fit in with the crowd.
In this blog i am taking the opportunity to expand on what i went through during my time in America before i came in-contact with my second brace. In my next few blogs i would get into the meat of my challenges associated with scoliosis. My back brace has done its course and my curvature reaches 100 degrees, surgery becomes inevitable.
Here is a video of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which basically gives doctors a picture of my back. I took two (MRI's) before i wore my spinecor brace.
I specifically remember doing an exercise similar to this to strengthen my back when i was in America.
This video is very interesting to watch, this little girl is so brave !!
Feel free to comment on the video on my blog or facebook page
