Hi,
Has anyone heard of or has anyone had surgery done when their curve was less than 30 degrees?
Mine is in the mid 20s lumbar (haven't had xrays in awhile) and I was always told no doctor would touch it until it was over 40. Is that still true?
Physically my curve looks a lot worse than it is: every couple degrees it increases on the xrays affects my body physically by what looks like 10 or so degrees.
Personally if I can find someone to do the surgery to fix it I would, especially after I hear how happy everyone is with their surgeries.
Just wondering if I should get the hope out of my mind that some respectable doctor will operate on my back or not.
Thanks,
Tracy
