PFT Tests all clear!

06-20-2005, 10:24 PM

I went for my pulmonary function tests today (breathing tests) and was told they were excellent so my rotation is not harming my lungs at this time.

Finally some good news!

Now I get to play the waiting game as my doctor is sending a referral to the specialist tomorrow. Last time he said I should go in for surgery ASAP.. but that was over 10 years ago. Let's see what he says this time

Age 28
diagnosed at age 12
wore a boston brace until age 14
No surgery, was on "wait and watch" till recently. Got a SpineCor (Jan 27th) to help ease the pain.
T-curve 73 degrees with severe rotation (curves to the right)
L-curve 45 degrees with slightly less severe rotation than my T-curve (curves to the left)

1994 - 5'10" - T-?/L-? (i forget what they really were)
2006 - 5' 4" - T-56/L-40
2008/09 - 5' 4" - T-73/L-45
