Hi all,
I am new to the forum. I am 23 years old and I have was diagnose with scoliosis when I was 12. I know it could be much worse off but I am in the low 30 degree range, but I have back pain, and I am very uncomfortable when I am sitting, and always feel off balance. Of course I hate the way it looks as well. Has anyone here had surgery for smaller curves? My parents are totally against it because they think if I get my spine fused it will cause me major problems later in life. I went to Dr. Errico and my parents were put off because they thought he would operate even though it wasn't totally necessary. Again, I know it could be worse but I am still bummed about it. Please let me know of your stories! Thx
