Scoliosis...?

[cokelly]

Anyone on here with scoliosis?? Or know of anyone with scoliosis (aka curvature of the spine?) ...talking about humans here! lol

I found out a couple of months ago that i have kyphoscoliosis which is where my spine curves when looking straight on from the back and also it curves looking from the side! It does affect my riding as my left shoulder is lower than my right! So I just do my best and Buster is fine dandy with the whole 'lopsided mommy' but I'm curious if anyone else rides with it??

my son has scoliosis , he was diagnosed at ten with a slight lateral curviture and at 14 he had a 65% curvature, his right shoulder had dropped and he had a hump on right side , he had a two stage operation to correct the curvature in 2002 , two titanium rodes 3 brackets and two four inch screws into his hips , prior to this for two yeasrs he wore a boston brace to help support his spine
he learned to ride aged 6 and except for 6 months after his op hes always ridden ,, including jumping in his boston brace , ( best body protector on market! )
he still rides regulary and enjoys it , hope this helps
