I have been wondering this ever since my surgery...Do most people who have a thoracic curve also have kyphosis as well? Normal kyphosis is 40 degrees or less. My kyphosis was 68 degrees, my thoracic curve was 55 degress and my lumbar curve was 58 degrees. The surgery brought my kyphosis down to a normal level. I spoke to someone today who also had a 50 degree thoracic curve but she had normal kyphosis. Just wondering why some people who also have scoliosis develop it and why some people do not.
I'm thinking the abnormal kyphosis was why I have had so many neck issues since my surgery. My neck leaned very forward before surgery and was not in alignment with the rest of my spine. Now, 5 months after surgery, it is getting alittle more in alignment. I'm pretty sure that all my shoulder blade pain is coming from my C5/6 disc in my neck. My MRI shows problems in that particular disc. Has anyone else who had surgery to correct scoliosis/kyphosis have worse neck pain after surgery?
