/scoliosis/ Who here lifting with it? Talk about about it affects

<5% curve here. It really shouldn't be a problem at all but it's also a rotational curve so it makes the left side of my rib cage jut out and two-armed lifts just feel slightly awkward with it. I haven't even tried deadlifts or anything hard on the spine due to fears it will make it worse. Any tips for sleeping on my side comfortably? When I try to fall asleep on my left side, my lower right ribs will start to get very uncomfortable, and vice versa. Wakes me up multiple times a night and hurts my sleep quality a lot.

I had the surgery a year ago this month and im fine with all activities and its never bothered me at all

Hey I have some pretty decent rib jut, the solution I found was buying an extra pillow I could put under my side, I just have plain a body pillow I got from Walmart so I can toss and turn in my sleep and my sides are still comfy. I also recommend side planks cause it tenses your core and keeps the jut down.

Really? You recall how severe you curves were? That's really promising to hear, so no limitations flexibility wise that impact stuff like running around and sports outside of the gym?

Where do you place the pillow?

I have it lined up on the apex of where my rib buldges, so for me its on my right side just below my shoulder, so I just have it there for if I sleep on my right side

>>42177055
Where'd you have it done?

I have more lordosis than Scoliosis, but the scoliosis caused an imbalance in my back muscles. As long as I dont squat or deadlift too often, Im fine. Plus it has kinda helped to straighten my shit up

I think I have a slight twist in my lower back down there which in addition to my flared ribs makes it hard to activate pecs/lower back to tighten up for deadlifting/squatting which has caused some minor injuries. Been spamming core and lower back accessories to try and make up for the difference.

I was diagnosed last year by the guy who works at the gym

I used to figure skate a lot several years back. It caused problems with spins, spirals (fancy nomenclature for skating on one leg) and stuff. I didn't think it was anything significant but there you go.

I've never experienced any pain and squat/deadlift without issue, albeit with a slightly adjusted grip on the former to account for the slightly different moment forces. OHP can be a bit difficult because obviously there's a slightly longer ROM on one side, but that's only noticeable if I'm struggling with the last rep or a PR.

can scoliosis just pop up in folks over 25?

Possibly, could have been undetected until recently

I had rods screwed to my and some vertebrae fused due to scoliosis. I'm scared shitless to do anything and that a future surgery will break me financially.
