Bent But Not Broken!

Hi Guys!

So I follow BeyondACurvedSpine on instagram and they're a group of Nigerian scoliosis survivors that engage in various activities to create awareness about the condition and also enlighten Nigerians about living with scoliosis.

What's scoliosis?

Well scoliosis describes an abnormal, side to side curvature of the spine. 

Warning: Lots Of Backtalk Here!

Me!

For a young woman in her early 20s, I had not, till 2013, heard of scoliosis. So hearing a doctor tell me, after a routine x-ray before my masters programme, that I had scoliosis was like pouring ice cold water on me. I was mostly terrified and felt like I could't even go through with the programme. This was all within the few minutes after the doctor sat me down to give me the news.
