Hello, I am new to this forum. I had a Harrington-Luque procedure from T5-L4 when I was 12 years old. I am now 33. I have begun to do more research on what was done to me and I have a question.
Is a fusion STILL the only way to fix or greatly reduce a major curve?
I also get pretty frequent lower back pain. Is this because of the brunt that my lower disks and muscles take or might there be something wrong with my hardware? I am so sick of pain! I take care of myself and am very active. Funny thing is though, that activities like walking and running hurt more than skiing bumps or mountain biking.
Is there ANY way to get rid of this pain once and for all? Or am I doomed with a life of lower back pain?
I know this is a stupid question but do you think that someday there will be a surgery where they can un-fuse a fusion and give us patients our mobility back? How i would love to do a summersault!
Is there anyone out there in this forum who had early surgery who has lower back pain like me? I need some company.
