Hi,
I've never had surgery (although I need it--they just won't do it at my age). I had to get some medical records from my orthopedic surgeon and in addition to the usual information I expected I found something surprising.
The record said that in my thoracic area there were "sever minimal compression fractures." This is not even where my worst curve is. The doc had not mentioned this to me at all and it seems that if this is what is happening their refusal to do surgery to prevent more of this makes no sense.
Has anyone else been diagnosed with these fractures from scoliosis (I'm 60/72).
Thanks.
Gloria
