    you'll get the surgery earlier. why, are u worried about having it before the 5 months?
    2I found out I had scoliosis when i was 10, in 2003.
    T= 61 degrees L=35 degrees,
    six months later it became
    T=76 degrees L=42 degrees.
    I've worn a back brace and have had a Spinal Fusion.
    Scary!

        Hopefully you will. (i know, i sound horrible) The earlier the surgery, the better the results.

                    Thats a good idea, I should really do that as well. Whenever i visit him i always forget questions i've been meaning to ask him.

                    If you don't mind me asking, do you get lots of pain in your hips?
