Hey everyone, I'm Jaime. I'm 48 and have been on the scoliosis and spine saga journey since age 12 - Boston brace, childhood fusions at 13 and 14, and most recently a lumbar fusion this January with revision in July. I'm in Washington State, and I'm really glad to be here with people who understand what it's like to live with this much hardware.
Hi everyone!
I live in Northern California, and I got diagnosed with Scoliosis 3 years ago. I have mild-ish (I got an X-ray 3 years ago which showed mild scoliosis, but I believe it progressed in the last few years...). I am a current high school student, and not many people actually know that I have Scoliosis mostly due to the stigma around it that "bad posture causes scoliosis", but I started to incorporate life with scoliosis into my instagram account (@hs_kaur.md_dreams), to bring awareness to it and stop hiding a part of myself! 💗
Hi Kaur! I'm SO glad you've joined our space here at The Bionic Project, it's amazing to read your story, and I'm happt to hear that you're already fighting the stigma at such a young age, keep up the good work :) Are you doing any physical therapy or treatments for your curve?
