The Creaking Post Syndrome

By -
Yup, that's me, I sound like a creaking gate in the mornings so I decided to create a syndrome, there are so many popping up these days, I thought "why not create my own", Drs don't seem that bothered with our pains and aches - according to them Scoliosis doesn't cause pain - laughable really!

I think I have some kind of arthritis in my Facet Joints, I have always had problems in my facet joints since surgery, however, I did not know this until I got hold of my medical notes - they failed to tell me - oh how great!

Not sure if you have noticed, I am feeling slightly sarcastic today, I think it is because of my "creaking gate syndrome", I am fed up with getting up every morning feeling achy and having pain and then having to smile and pretend everything is A OK.

I know that feeling hun (being sarcastic cuz you've just had enough and putting on a smile when the physical pain is killing you inside) :( I am feeling like that today..probably not the best time to post a comment..but hey I know what you mean most of the time...I hate the mornings..still hoping for a morning where I open my eyes and not feel pain..like the good old days...someday..sigh :(

hmmm the "Creaking Post Syndrome" sounds so painful - I am sure it is...I can almost see it in your post :( although I have a lot of pain and know exactly what you mean about the mornings and everything else you have posted in this post, I don't really understand the creaking part..do u mean you hear the creaking literally? sorry to sound ignorant about it, but I wasn't sure exactly what you meant...either way it's painful I am sure :(

Hope this week is better for you..I am actually having a pretty bad one..everything is getting on my nerves..will keep you posted with my news..u too!!! :) xxxx

Posterior Asymmetry & Idiopathic Scoliosis

By -
I have removed some of the medical jargon that comes with these studies to enable us to try and understand more, I have offered the option of downloading the PDF at the bottom of the page for those who wish to read all the study. Study Key Points: Posterior Basicranium (PBA), divided in 2 parts joined to the foramen magnum, presents a torque in Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) PBA torque reflects cerebellar asymmetry in IS. PBA torque induces spatial asymmetry of the vestibular system and specially, of the otolithic system, with potential consequences on vestibular function and posture in IS. Study Abstract PBA asymmetry and idiopathic scoliosis Study design Are there neuro-anatomical abnormalities associated with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) Posterior Basicranium (PBA) reflects cerebellum growth and contains vestibular organs, two structures suspected to be involved in scoliosis. Objective The aim of this study was to compare posterior basicranium asymmetry (PBA) in Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) an

Ugly Betty star Vanessa Williams has Scoliosis. Before Vanessa became a famous star through her seasons of Ugly Betty she was to be a dancer. Vanessa was recently nominated for an Emmy for the 2nd time for her role as the wicked diva Wilhelmina Slater in Ugly Betty. For those of you who have not heard of Ugly Betty, it is an ABS comedy hit show dedicated to Mode magazine and the world of fashion. Vanessa Williams wanted to be a professional dander with the Joffrey Ballet until those plans were cut short by Scoliosis. (curvature of the spine) Vanessa is reported to have said "It derailed me for a while,". "It was so severe I had to have a spinal fusion where they put 8-inch metal rods and screws in my spine. I just took off one year where I didn't do any physical activity. But then, of course, I was terrified. It's so strange … It felt like having an operation and then healing and going back to your real body. It was really like having a new center of gravity and

Scoliosis in India

By -
I have been approached via my website from someone in India who needs help finding a surgeon. I do not have much knowledge on surgeons for Scoliosis in India and would really like to help this person, I decided to write a blog post and see if I can attract the attention of anyone who would have good advice on surgeons in India, where she should go for surgery in India and who would be recommended in India to perform the surgery. Personally, I would have thought that Deli would have a good selection of top spine surgeons who could help this lady who has a 59º curve, surgery is considered when a spinal curvature peaks over 50º, I do know that many Indian back specialists train in the UK, some stay and work in the UK and others go back to India and work there. Perhaps there is a surgeon in the USA that is doing pro bono work, I have heard of many top USA surgeons going to other countries and performing surgeries on people who desperately need help. If anyone has any advice or suggestions,
