Without the care I received at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, I wouldn't look the way I do now; my back would be hunched over.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My whole family is in orthotics and prosthetics, so I grew up having to check for scoliosis every week. 'Come over. Let me feel your spine.'
I had some surgery on my feet, which has helped my back some.
I haven't had any problems with my back since I got the foot surgery.
I had to have shoulder reconstruction.
I have a bad back partially from playing the drums and singing. I used to have to hold my body in such a position that my spine got out of alignment.
As soon as I got the Nobel Prize my back collapsed and I was in hospital.
But if I keep my core and back strong, the scoliosis doesn't really bother me.
I was having these terrible back pains, and then one day in Switzerland, things got very bad. My wife Maryanna called the hotel doctor, but I don't remember any of this, I was out of it. I had an operation, and I was nearly lost.
I had this tic where I touch my mouth to my knee, and I'm always screwing up my back. I've had two shoulder surgeries. My doctor just smiles and laughs at me.
My back was just destroyed after pregnancy. I almost had to have surgery, until I did Pilates and rebuilt my body.
