Hi everyone,
I haven't posted in a while. I had my surgery last November, T3-L3 to reduce my top curve from 58 down to almost 15. The surgery went very well and overall I'm feeling pretty good. Daily aches and pains and still using Ultram but Im staying active with walking and gentle yoga. I had a herniated disc too and that seems to be getting better. After the surgery I remember looking in the mirror and being so happy to see my top right hump almost gone and noticing how much more evenly my shirts lay across my chest. Maybe I'm going crazy but I feel like the hump is getting bigger again. I have my 9 month checkup next week and am going to ask my doctor to take another X ray which he would probably do anyway. Perhaps its just paranoia, but after everything I went through over the past 9 months, I'm praying the fusion worked and everything is OK. I have 2 rods and 22 screws. Is it possible things could shift around or the fusion didn't work? Any feedback is appreciated.
Thank you!
Jill
