Hi Curve,
I understand your fears, but many of us have had our backs do strange things.
My curves were progressing from side to side, my rib cage was rotating and I had 2 vertebre that were sliding apart, and they fixed it.
It still amazes me what they can do!!!
Stay postitive and trust your surgeon!!!
