Hello everybody,
I'm new here. I'm French and I live near Paris. I think you wonder why I come on this forum...It's very simple. I'm curious and I would like to have one more openmindedness I would like to see how scoliosis is lived in another country, to realize the situation of this disease in other countries.
As for me, I have a congenital scoliosis as I have it since my birth. Treatments have started at the age of 5 years old with a Milwaukee brace during 10 years. Until 10 years old, my scoliosis dont have very important degrees because she was stabilized at 15 degrees about. But, and I don't know why, from 10 years old, degrees increase. First slowly then more quickly. At 88° degrees, my doctor have gave the surgery indication. So, I have surged 6 months later, when my scoliosis have reached 93 degrees. Even if my surgery didn't have the unfolding that it was planed, I can tell that it is really a success, I am very happy.
Actually, I have "celebrated" my second surgery birthday, in last november.
If you want to have more informations, don't hesitate, it will be with pleasure. I hope my english is not too bad and that you have understood my message.
Best Regards
Amandine
