Flexibility and blood circulation
For context: I am a 28 year old female. I had a spinal fusion to correct my severe scoliosis when I was in 5th grade. I have a few questions for anyone who else who has had a spinal fusion.
- when you stretch, do you find that after 30 seconds or so, whatever you’re stretching goes numb?
- are you able to sit comfortably on the floor? I have tried almost every sitting position you can do on the floor and my feet always go numb within seconds
- when you go to the store and are holding the basket with your groceries in it, does your hand go numb if you are holding the basket in your elbow? I experience all of these and not sure if it’s just another normal experience and symptom of having metal rods and screws in your back 🙃 I would love to hear your experiences!!
