I saw you reblogged the National Scoliosis Month thing, what is scoliosis?

scoliosis is a curvature of the spine! basically the human spine is supposed to be straight when viewed from the back, but sometimes it just grows crookedly while kids are going through puberty. you can read more about it here, here and here! (also i have scoliosis, i wore a back brace to fix it for two and a half years, but some people go through surgery or don’t need to have it fixed at all!)

I just realized that my spine is so fucked up I have to wear a back brace yet it still manages to be straighter than I am

tonights one of those nights where i wish i could literally split open my back, take out my spine, straighten it out, crack every joint between vertebrae, move the misplaced muscles and tilted organs back into their proper places, attach my spine back to my skull and pelvis, and then sew my back together again

guess ill just have to do the old song and dance

crack my back, put the rice pack on it, take an ibuprofen, lie face down on memory foam mattress, try not to die/cry/both

Gym induction this eve with Dave the Back Specialist. Looking forward to finally finding out more about what I should and shouldn't be doing... Hopefully I can do some things other than swimming because I'm getting a bit bored of my ineffectual flailing.
