Today is the one year anniversary for my son's surgery and he's doing great. Hurray!!!
I know there are a few others out there who have been told they have lordoscoliosis so I wanted to share my son's x-rays as there is so little mentioned here on this forum or in the literature that I have seen. Could be that it is more common then I realize and maybe not that note worthy. But could be of interest to some. Unfortunately I didn't have any "good" presurgery x-rays but my thinking is that there was not a significant decrease in the lordosis after surgery.
I can't seem to find any other sideview x-rays post-surgery on this forum. If anyone can refer me to some I'd really appreciate it.
Just as an aside his surgeon said that because of the lordosis he would never have been a good candidate for bracing because the brace would have pushed the spine into an even bigger lordosis position. That is to say it would have pushed his spine more into his chest cavity.
