Scoliosis?? apa benda nya ni?? I pun tak tahu sebelum ni.... tapi sekarang dah tahulah serba sedikit... ianya bukanlah penyakit tapi medical term untuk spinal deformity.
kisahnya begini...
On last Saturday, my second daughter, Sarah had an appointment dengan orthopaedic specialist kat KPJ specialist hospital kat Seremban. I managed to slot in the appointment for her on that day.. sebabnya ialah beberapa minggu sebelum tu my hubby and me, we noticed that Sarah posture makin tak berapa tegak dan lurus. Even since last year pun Sarah ni kalau duduk ke, berdiri ke, berjalan ke mesti macam tak nak tegak-tegak .. macam malas-malas je... yang paling obvious is belakang dia, kat tulang belikat tu tak seimbang, sebelah kedalam dan sebelah lagi tu terkeluar...
Mula-mula I fikir dia macam nak hide herself sebab among her friends.. dia ni memang tinggi.. for her age yang baru nak masuk 13 tahun. Nampak macam she's taller than me now! I am 5' 2" and her height must be taller than that.
I bawak dia jumpa Dr Wan Hazmy and after explaning to him pasal Sarah the doctor suruh dia buat forward bend test... bahu dia masih seimbang antara kiri dan kanan... then the doctor mention that ini adalah symptom SCOLIOSIS. First time dengar perkataan ni... after that kena buat X-Ray. After seeing the X-ray, the curve of the spine is then measured, and roughly kecondongan tulang tu cuma 3 degree sahaja buat masa ni. tak severe lagi. Alhamdulillah...
This is not Sarah's X-Ray, but her one is exactly like this. Notice tak the spine curvature macam huruf 'S'. Image from www.iscoliosis.com
Next appointment lagi 3 bulan. Doctor nak measure lagi her spinal curv. Tengoklah nanti macam mana. I doakan the abnormality wouldn't get worse. The doctor assured her that she still can continue her atheletic and recommended her to continue with the swimming class. Bagus jugak sebab sekarang kat secondary school ada swimming pool and tak payah lah I bawak dia gi public pool selalu.
Anyone outside there ada tak experience dengan Scoliosis? Bolehlah share experience dengan I if you don't mind.

ReplyDeletemy sister dulu pun macam ni tau dia punya tulang belakang
then sebab makin lama makin teruk, dia kena operate and masukkan besi kot sebab nak luruskan balik. now my sis dah diri tegak macam org normal la..dulu memang macam u cakap tu, bila diri je mesti senget.
my sis buat tu masa dia 15 yrs old and now she's 21 i think..hihi umur adik pun tk ingat :D
laaar..kesian sarah..tapi anak2 along memang tinggi2 lah..ikut huda lah agaknya tu kan?..
ReplyDeleteharap2 takde yang serious lah.kesian budak2 ni..
Assalamualaikum,
ReplyDeleteMy niece pun ada problem yang sama....my sister sedar masa anak dia umur 14 tahun..dia mengadu tangan lenguh...then baru sedar the problem. Then operate letak titanium di tulang belakang masa umur 15 tahun....Govenment Hospital pun dah RM20 ribu..alhamdulillah...she fine now...dah nak ambik SPM tahun ni.
zarina,
ReplyDeleteI harap dan berdoa sarah's spine curve tu tak semakin teruk lah. Memang I risau.. nak kena tunggu lagi 3 bulan nak x-ray semula... just tunggu dan berdoalah kan..
Kak anim,
sarah and nadia mmg cepat tinggi, especially si sarah tu... tapi tulang belakang ada S curve pulak... berdoa dan redha ... maybe ada hikmah disebaliknya...
