Hi, I'm new to this site. I am really hoping to hear from some women who had surgery when their children were pretty young. I just visited a specialist yesterday and surgery was recommended for me. I wore a Milwaukee brace for three years in middle school and high school and never had any pain after that...until my second baby was born a year ago. I started getting very sharp pain in my lower back, sometimes even radiating to the front. I finally got to an adult scoliosis specialist and he measured my thoracic curve at 56 degrees and my lumbar curve at 60 degrees. He recommended surgury because my curve has gotten progressively worse over the years and I am experiencing pain. He left the decision of when I have surgery up to me.
I am 30-years-old and I have two children...a 3-year old and a 11-month old. If I had surgery this year, my baby would be 14-months old. I am hoping to hear from people that had to deal with recovering from surgery and be a mom at the same time. I still want to be able to play with my kids, and change my little one's diapers, and do things with them and not be laid up for months and months. I would also like to have another baby in the future (something that my doctor said would be fine after surgery). So I don't want to wait forever to have the surgery because I would be putting off having another baby. At this point, I don't even have any anxiety about the pain that I will deal with. I just worry about the impact on my kids. Any responses would be really appreciated. I have read several of the posts for adults on this site and I have been really impressed with the information that has been passed along.
Thanks,
Tara
