hello. i am 15 years old and i was diagnosed with scoliosis a couple of years ago. I have tried bracing but unfortunately it didn't work out for me. My measurements are around 60 and 55 degrees, and my family is planning on going through with the surgery. I'm just wondering about some of the side effects, and some things i should be expecting.
What should i be expecting? i knowthat people have different recovery time periods. I'm scared of what is going to happen after the surgery, as well as during [recovery period etc.] I play basketball. How will that be with the running/bending drills they have you do? If i do all these sports and everything, what is --worst case scenario in which i will be affected?
I also snowboard, and i fall a lot on my butt, on my back, and a lot of other places. Usually i get up, and i am fine. But after surgery, will falling impact my back and cause the rods to move differently or what?
Would i also be able to ride roller coasters? =/
Really scared right now, have no idea what to do, or what to expect. replies would be much appreciated =) thank you
