  • My Operation

    I am having my operation in November or December at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge, England and I am kinda nervous. I'm going to have some ribs removed and have a rod inserted. My curve is 70 degrees!

    I really need advice from people who have been in my position!! I have no one!

    Thanks

    i had spinal fusion done about 3 years ago, my curve was around 60-ish i think, and i have a titanium rod and screws. the only advice i can really give you is to listen to your doctor and do what he/she tells you. if you have any more questions let me know.
