ive always had a fair amount of pain since surgery. im 18 now, and just had xrays done. since surgery, my curve in my lumbar spine (that was fused) has increased 13 degrees--could this be my source of pain?

See your surgeon for an evaluation.
Curves can increase post-op in areas not fused or in areas which failed to fuse.Original scoliosis surgery 1956 T-4 to L-2 ~100 degree thoracic (triple)curves at age 14. NO hardware-lost correction.
Anterior/posterior revision T-4 to Sacrum in 2002, age 60, by Dr. Boachie-Adjei @Hospital for Special Surgery, NY = 50% correction
