Hi again,
3rd Surgery for Scoliosis. My daughter has been accepted at Shriners and just in time. Just the past couple of days her toes have been giving her more problems. Her big toe is swollen and an bit red and hurts. The bottom of her other toes, the rounded part are feeling more numb than usual. She had tingly numbness in both of her feet for awhile now but this could be from her spine curving more or just that she stubbed her foot and since it was numb did not even feel it until now. I would think feeling pain is better than not feeling anything but the doctor can explain this. Anyway, has anyone had anything similar to this out there? Numb and tingly toes and half of their feet?????? Also if you had stomach problems from scoliosis, what types did you have? My daughter also lately is having some problems. It just may be nerves. She has had two surgeries on her back already, one for the instrumentation/fusion and the other to take them out since she got a staph infection. Now she has to have another one. She has curved more than she had before and rather quickly. We were told she would not curve and was fused. Bologne. I see so much on these sites and feel they should have never taken her rods out in the first place. I did not know what I know now on the other methods to battle the infection could have been done and was not. This growth rule about once she has gotten her period she will stop growing. Not so. Obviously plenty of the older patients on these sites have curved into their 80's. Just venting but would like to know how everyone feels about things like this out there. Thanks.
