My daughter is 18 and was just diagnosed and has been recommended for surgery. I am not sure how it went undiagnosed for so long since she was very active in high school (cheerleading and dance) and had yearly physicals. Needless to say, she is a little freaked out by what is happening to her. She has been in a lot of pain (which is why they took x-rays and realized what was wrong).
I am hoping that someone near her age can answer a few questions that I haven't been able to get answers to. What she wants to know is how big her scar will be, how limited her mobility will be after surgery (she loves to go hiking), and do any of you have any regrets?
Thanks for any advice you might be able to give her. Having never gone through this, I can't give her the reassurance that each of you might be able to.
