After my surgery 27 years ago, I was left with two 25 degree curves.
I saw the doc recently, and both my curves are now 40 degrees.
My upper curve is fused, but my lower is not. The doc says the upper curve is likely stuck at 40 degrees, but the lower may get a bit worse. The doc says he can straighten the lower curve, but not the upper (since it's fused). I wanted to defuse the upper and do the whole thing, but a couple of docs said "defusing" the upper would be biblical in proportion!
My questions are;
At what point are organs in danger of being damaged?
Would it be good to have the lower straightened at this point? Even though it would also need to be fused?!
ANy feedback is appreciated.
