OK, so I thought I would post a "feeling pitiful me" . I had my A/P done in '01 from T4-S1. I had mulitple infections (staph) which required opening me up again x 4. By October of the same year (orig. surgery in Feb.) I had to have all of the hardware removed as a last resort to try and remove the continuing infection. So fast forward to today. I have been aware and in much denial that my hips and waist have changed since the surgery. I'm just putting off the enivenable(sp) of making an appointment and finding out that my lumbar curve has moved. The lower 2-3 ribs are curved into and beyond my hip. At my last post-op visit,in '02, my lumbar was 75*, which means that it is now getting really bad.
So I have a question for you all. I know about how the thoraic curve can effect the heart/lungs. What is the effect of the lumbar curve??? Anyone?
Thanks
