I wore a brace for several years as a child and now that I'm in college I'm having lots od back pain. I need a solution!

Answer
Well you are likely getting a lot of pain from sitting on those hard chairs...nothing worse for ANY back let alone if you have scoliosis.

Best thing is to do exercises (stretches) to counter act the pressure. I don't think there is much to be done because your vertibrae are pressing on the discs and nerves and irritating them when you are in one position for much too long.

If you could make yourself more comfortable at school or even be able to stretch in between classes it might help. You're likely carrying a lot of weight around with you so you should get one of those roll along bags rather than a backpack. The added weight just makes your back worse I would think.

Sorry can't come up with more...do get physio if you can as it counteracts all the bad stuff happening during the week. Put warm/cold compresses on any sore spots.

Is it child abuse to allow kids to lug unthinkable weights in their backpacks?

Not yet 21

Just look at it this way, you have an 11-year-old of small stature who walks 1 mile to school, common scenario.


The weight he has to carry is unthinkable, so much that many adults won't even be able to lift that sh!t.




And the small kid lugs that thing around, sore necks, sore back, takes it all his body's got to simply stand upright and keep his balance with that behemoth and not only that but walk a full mile.



So what do you think is it child abuse to have books and bags excruciatingly heavy?

Answer
3rd grades with 35 lbs of books yes! My kids all need massages and have bad back from years of this
