scoliosis

[vanwa3401]

i have scoliosis (severe spine curveture) and put on a bunch of weight when i found this out, (i have a hump on my back that i was trying to hide) i can only be mobile for about 15 minutes, like walking, but when im done, i have unbelievable back pains. i am wondering if anyone is suffering from a simular problem, or can offer any advice? i am wanting to lose about 150lbs, and am having no trouble with eating different, just the exercise part. i get such bad pains that it totally ruins my motivation. if anyone can help/offer support, i would love to hear from you

Hi. I don't have scoliosis, but on another message board, one of the ladies does. She is unable to remain standing for any length of time. Here is a website she posted recently.

I don't know if you are interested in reading some on it, or if you have already done so.

The website that she has it

http://pub76.************/bsunshine35446 Her name is Mosken and she lives in Norway. Please come over and see us. It is a chronic pain message board. Perhaps being able to talk to her would help.

I have severe asthma and can't exercise and I'm stilling loosing fine. It may take you a little longer, but you will get there. On another site there was a similar question and there is a video for chair aerobics so you might want to look into some exercising that doesn't hurt you back. No one wants that!

I used to weigh 356 pounds and I now weigh 169.2 so you can see I did lose.:cool:

Congratulations!!!! on that great weightloss. What program did you follow, if I might ask. That is so great, and the incredible willpower to do this.
