Im going to see my doctor about my options and to find out what percents my curve is at in a couple days. But ive been reading alot on this forum and a couple other sites. I think things are pointing towards me having the surgery. Im not that worried but at the same time i am. The only thing i think i fear the most is what ive heard about after surgery, so i wanted to ask a few questions that would really ease my mind to know...please.
1. Is it really true that the pain in recovery time is excrutiating? I mean, is it like a soreness pain or like alot of straight pain? Ive heard ur not supposed to move much in recovery, so im really afraid of the pain right now.
2.After you leave the hospital, do you have to stay laying flat on a bed or something? or can u sit in a chair? lol i'd much rather be on the comp during recovery time than laying down being bored lol. Im just curious...
3. I happen to have a rare allergy to metal,(usually silver, or things with the element nickel) i break out badly in red blotches and itch. Does anyone know if this will affect the rods they use or something in surgery?
4. After surgery, do they put a brace on you? if so, how do they do it? Is it painfull?
Much thanks to anyone who can answer these questions.
