        surgery on Sep 19th

        Hi,

        I am 24 and am scheduled for surgery on Sep 19th. It's a scary time for me and I am getting more scared as I am getting closer to the date. I don't really take any medications to help me but was thinking of asking my doctor to give me some. I also hope that I am making the right decision and that I can get through it safely and recover fast.

        Hope to talk to you soon and feel free to ask me anything!!!

        4/8/08 - 38* thoracic and 50-52* lumbar (54* kyphosis)

        2007 - Scheduled surgery but cancelled due to no major health issues at the time.
        2011 - Back pain, spasms, sciatica, difficulty doing any physical work/activities w/o following back pain and spasms. Revisiting surgery decision and soon to schedule a doctors appointment to determine the progression since 2008.
