8 - Not Too Late: Donna’s Story, Fifty Years in the Making

What happens when scoliosis goes undiagnosed for fifty years? In this episode, Donna Kowitt shares the powerful story of finally receiving a life-changing diagnosis at age 59, after decades of unexplained symptoms and worsening pain.

Donna opens up about being dismissed by doctors, facing multiple complex spinal surgeries, navigating insurance battles, and rebuilding her life after a literal spinal collapse. Through all of it, she found new purpose, rediscovered her identity, and now lives with mobility limitations but without the pain that once controlled her life.

Whether you are newly diagnosed, facing the possibility of surgery, or still searching for answers, Donna’s story is a reminder that it is not too late to reclaim your life and find peace in the process.
