#and mild scoliosis

[weirdchurchgirl]

restaurant jobs are not for the weak. maybe one shift a week i get to sit down for 2 minutes, otherwise every day i’m standing/walking for 7-9 hours straight…

#my body quite literally isn’t built for this #fucked up hip/leg bc of length discrepancy #and mild scoliosis #i like it there tho and they pay and treat me well 😭 #txt #i have to do pilates bc if i don’t #the pain is too much and i can’t like #move from the waist down really

[irregularbillcipher]

so god forbid i’m seen just as an average human being

#bill cipher #andrew kryptos #gravity falls #not gonna tag flatland because it seems too tangentially related but you guys get why i draw their mortal designs grayscale and victorian #for anyone going 'what's going on with baby bill's chest???' that's a victorian scoliosis brace #they're mostly covered by clothes usually but with a low collar you would be able to see parts of it #i usually translate his mild irregularity to scoliosis #just realized there's no full drawing of canon era bill in his stupid used car salesman suit. ah well #just know the jacket has a smilar triangle shape to the jacket he wears in the last flatland era drawing and has triangle buttons #you guys have seen it i posted that design before #a good portion of these drawings is just me going 'hee hee victorian fashion fun.' loved drawing andy's stupid big coat #also-- if you notice there's a jump in bill's clothing quality from the pictures where he's around 8 to the one where he's a teen #that's chuck's doing. he was like 'well if you're going to work in a tailor shop you should look the part >:(' #and bought bill a 'uniform' so he had some nicer clothes. bill's folks don't really bother getting him nicer clothes most of the time #but if someone else is paying they won't turn it down and he picked up on that

Is this weird if I have scoliosis and this makes me genuinely happy ??

aw wait this is sweet i’m so glad 😭. i love when barty’s critical horniness does a full circle back to regular body positivity lmao. barty isn’t even trying to be inclusive or whatever he just thinks evan’s spine simply has the most enchanting little curve ever and constantly imagines what it would look like when he’s [redacted] and he will park evan in his lap just to stroke over his uneven hips & purr in his ear about it. barty’s telling him that evan is his little grasshopper-darling and he was built just for him……

#a #i had mild scoliosis as a child but idk what happened to it

[magpie-to-the-morning]

Guys my doctor says my spine and pelvis are a little crooked. I am literally not straight 😂

#also I have mild scoliosis and also arthritis?? #she’s gonna do some more X-rays #and recommended one on one pt #if the pain gets worse I can try an epidural #and gavipentin(?) #it’s so nice to be seen by someone who #a) cares #b) has more than 3 minutes #and c) can offer at least some tools #for my crooked-ass spine #health stuff

From almost a year ago; what multiple scoliosis looks on me

So, my hip is a lil bit slanted and that makes one of my legs longer than the other; and so my spine tried to balance things out by turning into an S-shape. I never really considered it a disability because I can go on with my day most days without pain, even when the doctor who diagnosed me was like "yup, if you have kids you're gonna suffer even more and by 40 you'll probs need a wheelchair";

however, there are moments after walking for long periods (or really just bad days) where my hips hurt so bad I just wanna pass out, trying to walk real fast makes my right hip make a popping sound and it's painful, like a cramp. When I am with people that walk faster than my top speed (most of my friends rip) I either gotta try to keep up and bear the pain or stay behind watching the distance between us grow. It's really isolating in that sense. I can't lift more than 15k without my back resenting it later (I can't carry one of my dogs :( ) and let's not talk about sports that involve running 😂 I used to dance and that in of itself was a challenge for me; I'd be so sore after each routine, even after warming up. Wearing a back-brace(? Support thingy helps when sitting down for long periods but other than stretching exercises, there isn't much I can do about my fucked up back

Sometime all September and October last year I was going through a very hard time dealing with body image issues. Tbh, I'm still am. So I did the very logical thing of taking some pics and painting them. This was the first time I had ever done some sort of portrait and it was cathartic in a way; I encountered the idea that my body will never look a certain way because of my back issues. I have always had "love handles" more noticeable on one side than the other. I'd think that if my back was a bit straighter, I'd probably not have them at all. The amount of times I've tried to stand as straight as possible, trying to get them to disappear... yeah, that's embarrassing. But oh well, surgery isn't really an option for me so I gotta work on making peace with them🫠. Which is something I want to work on, so here's to that!

Anyways, I spent a good chunk of this month thinking if I should post in this so here it goes aaa

#Hpersonal #bullet journal #scoliosis awareness #scoliosis #disability month #disability pride month #anyways I rememver that I was really proud of how the skin turned out I actualy felt good after painting this #catch me coming to term with calling this a disability even though I didn't really consider it one until recently that it dawned on me #that I can't do lots of things because of it #and while it would be considered a mild case #it's still very uncomfortable to live with it #sobs I just leaned back and my spine popped #anyways shout out to me falling off a horse for getting me diagnosed!! #if that hadn't happened I would probably be living in pain that didn't know where it came from #I think what bothers me the most about this whole thing is that people think I'm lazy for not engaging in more active activities #when in fact I do want to #I just don't want to be in pain yk #also it okie to reblog or whaetver :'D

It's funny I didn't actually know I had scoliosis until I was 17, getting the full checkup b4 getting general anesthetic to have my wisdom teeth out (they were gonna grow directly into the nerves yikes)

And then during the checkup the doctor ran his hand down the spine to look at it. Paused. Checked again. And then was like ".... I'm gonna send you down to get an x ray now" ajskfkgkhh

#its pretty minor tho so its not a big deal #my mom has severe scoliosis so its not too surprising #its wild they called back sbout it with talks of SPINAL SURGERY #like yall im not letting you touch my fucking SPINE over a mild curvature are you out of your damn mind?!?!? #anyway XD thats my oversharing for the night #the prophet speaks #medical cw

[pillowspace]

on your scoliosis post, literally it is a-ok to just ask haha. when i found out i had mild scoliosis i wanted to know who else too, so i just “oh yeah just found out i had scoliosis” and what do you know. friend i talked to had as well! even shared stretching tips. go ham and straight up bring it up yall

Entering conversations from here on out like "so are you straight or, y'know, scoliosis-ridden?"

#ask #i don't know if i'm mild exactly because you can visibly see my curve. but it's not major enough that i've necessarily needed surgery #i've discussed surgery but i eventually decided on just denying it #i have double scoliosis! scoliosis TWO

[readysetjo]

Lower back hurts a medium amount for no reason I can discern except maybe(???) sitting up straighter in a chair yesterday for longer than usual 🥴 downed the ibuprofen and waiting for the water to heat up for my hot water bottle and going to stretch all day

#I also have a mild scoliosis that my parents couldn’t afford to do anything about so didn’t #me being me

[hylianengineer]

I have figured out how to request my medical records and I am making myself a nuisance to BOTH of the hospitals in my hometown, because I know they both have some of my records floating around somewhere and I have this weird desire to see radiology images of my bones and organs. Being an anthropology student has given me an unnatural desire to look at my own skeleton.

Unfortunately, the hospital that probably has most of the xrays also has the least user friendly records system, so we'll see if they even get back to me to tell me if I'm using it correctly. Also no one will tell me how long a records request is supposed to take.

#i have never broken a bone so there are not that many pictures of them. however i did have mild scoliosis. #so somewhere there are xrays of my spine. i want them. #and a few other things that may or may not be interesting #hylian rambles #medical tw #coping with feeling like a nuisance for asking people to do their jobs by #making bad jokes about it. i am a nuiscane and im okay with that.

[friendofflowersandfrogs]

when the joke about needing one of those medieval stretching torture machines to fix me becomes a reality

#I have mild scoliosis apparently and low key this is what my chiropractor does XD #I’m winning #hemera rambles

[cats-and-confusion]

Do you ever just come back to reality and realize that your spine hurts, agonizingly so, and that no matter how you twist or contort or relax or massage your back you will never be free from it until it leaves on its own? To be deprived of the basic control over the state of your back, so much so that you have seriously considered replacing it with metal at some points? To want to burn and rip and rend through your skin and flesh to tear it from your treacherous body?

On a completely unrelated note I have mild scoliosis

#mild gore warning #mild gore #mild body horror #body horror #body horror writing #motherFUCKING scoliosis

[shadowkira]

My new doctor: Well, the results from your CTs are back! You're perfect from ribcage to pelvis!!

Me, internally: CLEARLY NOT IF I'VE HAD UTI SYMPTOMS FOR THREE MONTHS BUT NO UTI.

#more severe than that too but its the closest thing. daily muscle spasms in my lower back and belly... Sure it's okay news. but cmon now... #feels like a waste of money 😭 #I basically paid for the CT to confirm I've got mild scoliosis...

[voidimp]

second funniest thing that happened at my top surgery consult was that she said id be taller afterwards

funniest thing was still the surprise scoliosis diagnosis

#ngl i suspected id be taller bc ik i got the big tiddy slouch lmao #i did ALSO occasionally wonder if i had mild scoliosis or smth but i was always like #''no im sure if i did someone wouldve said something by now'' #well .

[just-a-little-bit-of-sugar]

the pain when u lie down and ur body finally relaxes and all the tension from the day comes back all at once and there is like 2 minutes of just. Burning pain, but then u just melt 😌

#is this relatable #or do i just have semichronic back pain i refuse to acknowledge as such #i mean it has been 8 years? #i rarely go a day without some level of pain though its usually very mild #anyways yeah. #the moment of pure compounded pain #thats what thr post is about #spilled sugar #back pain #scoliosis

[fruixtii]

me drawing be like

#and i wonder why my back hurts #im on my period at the same time so my lower back is just shit rn #but i literally cannot draw in anyother position #everything looks stiff #if i try to draw normally on a table theres the thing where everything is disproportionate because you’re drawing at an angle #aurgh #pretty sure i have slight scoliosis as well #the docter said it was mild and if i try to stay straight it’ll probably go away but i don’t think thats going to happen #my posture is sooooo bad

[underfell-crystal]

I finally go to the doctor to see why tf my back hurts all the time

I have scoliosis and a whiplash injury

#crystalks #crystals nonsense #so. yeah. #its on the more mild/intermediate side so i dont need surgery or anything #but uh #YEAH #ive just had scoliosis since i was like 12?????? #and i never knew????? #what. #whiplash injury is from a car accident. #spine is curved when it should be straight and neck is straight when it should be curved. #fucked up.
