I am 66 and have adult onset degen scoliosis. I have my next surgeon follow up in a week. I have noticed that when I stand in front of the mirror, I lean ALOT to the right....right shoulder is much lower then it was 6 months ago. I look pretty pitiful.
When I sit, my shoulders are straight and when I was in the pool with water up to my neck, and feet on the bottom, my shoulders were straight. So, gravity is not my friend.....but my question is, how does the flexibility affect surgery? My physical therapist says that I am flexible and that i will do well the surgery, but I am uncertain what that means.
