First off, Happy Thanksgiving everyone...I havent been on here much at all in the last year or so, since my surgery was cancelled in St. Louis last September. In the mean time, Ive been working quite a bit, and trying not to think about that as much as possible. Of course my pain level has continued to progress, and Ive been feeling like my curves have been progressing as well. So I looked up a couple surgeons a bit closer to home, and took a trip yesterday to see Dr. Michael Rohmiller in Cincinnati. They looked me over, took an xray, and wanted to know exactly what happened in St. Louis. He seemed flabbergasted after I told him what went down out there last year. He obviously has alot of respect for those doctors in St Louis, like Im sure alot of others do too. Dr Rohmiller said he isnt the guy to perform my operation, and Dr Bridwell would be one of his first choices. To make this story a little shorter, he said he's going to help me get in to see Dr. Boachie in NYC. Said if anyones going to do it, it'll be him. I know quite of few of you guys have seen him, and had him perform the fusion surgery on you...What can you all tell me about him? From what I can gather, he has all the credentials and experience, and really looks like he knows what he is doing...
Oh, also, Dr Rohmiller measured my thoracic curve at 80 degrees, and lumbar at 50...just over a year ago Dr Bridwell said they both were 66 degrees...is it normal to see that much discrepency, or do you think it progressed that much? And what about the lumbar curve going from 66 to 50?
