Hi, my name is Erin, and I had a spinal fusion in May 2003 to correct
my double major curve. The top curve was 36, the bottom was 40, and
they kept progressing after I was done growing. We fused from T2 to
L2. They achieved 100% correction on the top curve, and my lower
curve is now 18 and stable.
I'm 22 years old now, and I've had a lot of upper back pain since
surgery, which they think is due to the instrumentation. I am
discussing the possibility with my surgeon of removing the
instrumentation, with the hope of trying to lessen my pain. Does any
one have advice or experience with this?
Thank you!
