Sorry for the loss of your sister. How bad was your sister's scoliosis, and when did she develop? You would think the doctors today would monitor a person with scoliosis more carefully. The doctor I see thinks nothing of it. Maybe they don't even read my medical history, which is most likely the case. Smoker? They blame everything on smoking. But they legalize vaping which has many chemicals, pot smoking, and those prescription drugs on the market with so many side effects that scare you to death. Not saying that smoking is good, but when a person smokes they blame any ailment they have a cigarette?? Health Insurances just allow so many procedures and does not consider the individual. We are all different and react different, and the procedure for one person may not be good for another.

My sister was totally bent over even though she had surgery 10 years previously. She had rods placed in her back which over time bent with her body. I’ve never seen anyone so afflicted with scoliosis. She was on opioids for years when they could prescribe them so I don’t know what effect they had. I think the girl was so tired of the whole thing she lost her enthusiasm for living. That’s why I refuse to give into this. I’ve gotten some encouraging info from this site and will continue to look into every option.
I can always become aware of someone worse off than me. Family is so important for staying positive, it’s work sometimes but worth it
I sit in meditation and read from inspirational material (mostly the Bible but there other great things to read, every morning after a cup of coffee which helps make for a good day. I do it before the day gets away from me. It absolutely works.
