Hi everyone, I am now on the post Op side, and will post a day by day thread shortly, but I have a major question:
When you get out of surgery is your back supposed to be straight or curved in the opposite direction of your initial curve? My ribs are pretty even now, but I took off my shirt to take a look and I looked exactly or pretty close to how I did before, just in the opposite direction. My parents mentioned a 'lean' to my doctor and he said that it would go away with time, so will I straighten out with time too?
My skeleton is straight, so I guess my muscles just aren't used to the change and I have to do PT and walking and such to get straightened out. Just kind of shocked, because I expected to be straight from day 1 of Post Op. >___<;??
