I'm looking for the pros and cons of not having surgery vs. having surgery. It seems from reading this forum that there is a whole other set of problems after the surgery.
My problems/side effects of scoliosis (No surgery yet):
rib hump
uneven waist line
lower left shoulder
occasional muscle spasm and pinched nerve (with severe pain and difficulty walking and getting in and out of bed)
pain when standing in one place too long
pain when shopping
pain when sitting on hard chairs, etc.
pretty bad pain from ribs crushing pelvis after carrying heavy things (walking very slow and difficulty getting in and out of bed when this occurs)
most recently my left hip feels as if it has a kink in it and when I lay down to sleep my breaths seem shorter.
I'm sure there are more.
Thanks for the input!
