Like scoliosis sucks because people will be like ‘brush the pain off you got this’ esp when I’m doing sports and I don’t really wanna advertise it to them bc it could mean I’d get taken off teams n stuff and it hurts bc it makes me see how little people care until you actually pull up a doctors note or whatever
It really is a hard thing to deal with, and no one wants to feel excluded from things either, but also please don’t hurt yourself or risk further injury if you don’t have to. I know it can be really hard to give things up that you love—I made myself walk on a fractured foot to avoid getting taken off my hockey team in high school, and I thoroughly regret it now because it fucked up the healing process and now I’ve got a foot that always aches when it rains.
