My name is Rachel I am 18 years old. I found out this week that i should have sugery so i am having it in Jan 2009. I was wondering if this is a good choice. I went to the doctor on 10/14/08 and that said that my curve is now at top 49 degrees and my bottom curve is at 30. I have a lot of discomfort more than anything but there is some pain. Each year i have gone back to get x-rays it can continued to increase. one year ago my doctor said if you dont need surgery we arnt going to do it and now a year later it has gotten worse and he recommend me doing the surgery. Is it a good chioce.
