New to Forum - Considering Surgery
KathyK,
I was diagnosed at age 28. I have a 40-degree lumbar curve and a 50-degree thoracic curve. It is idiopathic scoliosis. I have bulging discs and disc space degeneration. At the L4-L5 level, there is pressure on the L5 nerve root. There is ligamental and facet hypertrophy at L4-L5. The stenosis is worse at this level as well.
Did your mother have any surgery? Does she use a walker? wheelchair?
Hope this information helps you.
Thanks.
Irene
