Scoliosis

Assalamualaikum...

It's hot nowadays, Alhamdulillah you can see the rain is falling right here in Subang Jaya.

I'm on my midsem break for this whole week. What should I do??? Yup I should study & prepare for my midsem examination. Plus, I have to catch up on the few topics that I failed to understand when the lecturer was teaching. I think it was because I didn't read the topic before the lecture class. Instead of telling you I don't really have time for that because of the quiz and everything, I think I better say it was because I was lazy. Stupid-est reason ever.

Okay whatever, back to the topic.

What is Scoliosis? I believe many of you know what this thing is. It's something that relate with bones problem, to be exact your back bone. But no matter how many time I heard the word 'Scoliosis', I still have the images of Italian Food rolling in my mind. Maybe because the name is quite similar to Oleo Spaghetti, which is my favourite Italian cuisine!

Now.. Scoliosis refers to the displacement of your backbone. It can happen due to  many reasons... One of it is carrying heavy stuff habitually. Another reason could be sleeping with a wrong position including your sitting posture and so on. In my case the reasons might be sitting with a wrong posture, sleeping on the curvy sofa and carrying heavy stuff.

When I was in highschool, involving yourself in activities you have to help around. You'll be transferring things, be it chairs or anything heavy.. I was told by my Ustazah when I was carrying a big heavy box full of dates, she told me that it's not good for a girl to carry heavy stuff. I wonder why is it. So I asked around, they said it will affect your womb and will make it hard for you when your trying to get a baby. Some said your womb might fall, haha what the heck.. not sure if its true. The truth is that, it will cause you to experience extra pain when you're getting pregnant and the process of laboring is going to be harder for those who have scoliosis.


As you can see the curve patterns right here, mine is Lumbar I guess. I am now avoiding myself from carrying heavy things, but.... whatever


It started when I did the x-ray scanning for PLKN medical check up. It was actually to check if I had TB, luckily there's no TB sign, Alhamdulillah. So I did another medical check up for university enrollment, this time I don't have to do the check up, the doctor only need to verify my latest check up which I've done at the Government Hospital. She was taking a look on my x-ray film, then only I know that my backbone is not straight. No wonder my back hurt so bad and it even affect my sleep time. I was reluctant to go for the check up at first, my mom forced me to do it and there you go, a beautiful hikmah behind all this. Now I know I have backbone problem.

I received my treatment few days ago. IT HURT SO BAD THAT I REFUSED TO COME ON THE NEXT DAY. For now I'm just doing my regular routine which is receiving massage from Ogawa auto massage chair that my parents bought almost 10 years ago. Hope it works. It has the same concept as the treatment that I was receiving except that I can control this to my liking.
