I am currently 34 years old. I wore the milwalkee back brace from 4th grade through 8th grade. I had/have 2 curves (an S curve). These curves continued to worsen and I had the sugery to install the harrington rods and spinal fusion in 1989. Over the past two years I have been having increased pain and stiffness in my back and neck. At times my right hip with hurt so bad and my hip/leg will numb. I am going to the doc in December.
I have gained about 20 pounds the last two years. My questions are whether this is just "normal" back pain as I age or possibly due to the weight gain. Also, I am exercising trying to lose the weight (it isn't working) and I am wondering if the running (on a treadmill) is causing some of the pain.
Anyone else in a similar situation?
