I am 13 y/o, thought to be at the end of growth (never in a brace
) w/ a S curve top curve is 40something, bottom is 50something. i am in constant pain everyday
, i have to crack my back almost every 5 minutes because it helps the pain some, does anyone else have pain? crack? and i have a slight bump on my left side in the middle close to spine. My doc hasnt even mentioned surgery which i find very hard to believe because all of my research tells me that 50 basically means surgery BUT my doc says that my curves cancel each other out and that my pain wouldnt likely be fixed thru surgery anyway?!
should i get a second opinion? my next appt isnt until Sept but we are hoping to move it up to ASAP because of my pain. i have had a major surgery before (not on back) so i am not scared of surgery, but i am scared about my pain and also organs and breathing down the road. thanks for reading
