  • Scoliosis surgery - the good and the bad

    I came across these other sites where people talk about their scoliosis spinal fusion surgeries. There are successes and failures, and a lot of people out there looking for answers, and I thought people from this forum might like to reach out to them. I am going to try to spend some time and do this, too.

    1st surgery: Fused T1-L3 in 1987 with contoured Harrington Rods. Rods broke at top.
    2nd surgery: Re-done two weeks later; fused C7-L3. Left in chronic pain.
    3rd surgery: Hardware removal 1997, but still pain for 30 years.
    4th Surgery: Fused to the sacrum in 2016. Came out of surgery with left foot paralysis. (Drop Foot) Can't walk on my own.
    I'm blessed to have found my peace and reason to live not from a husband or kids (I have none) but from God and within myself.
