I had the doctor’s visit today. Actually, I saw the PA but she confirmed her findings with another doctor as my doctor is out of town. The Xray showed –I have no broken rods. I did fear this due to the similarity of my current symptoms to the ones I had last summer when I did break. As to the bending, she said it will take more physical therapy especially on the S.I. joints and to another place that I’ve already forgotten the name, but it’s above the waistline on either side of the spine, and she said that I’ll never be absolutely straight again. As to the pain both standing and non-standing, she said to one degree or another, I’ll always have pain; that most “scoli” patients do. As to the clinks and clunks which were a great concern of mine, I related to her what I had read in the Scoliosis Forum, that a member’s doctor said these come from muscle and tendons and/or scar tissue suddenly passing over part of the hardware. She said she would agree with that. That too is just something I’ll have to learn to live with.
Thanks to all that read my previous postings and held their fingers crossed for me. I guess I can live with everything that the PA said; what's the alternative? You know, it just occurred to me. People have all kinds of surgeries every day, they recuperate, then IT'S OVER. Not us and I don't have to tell you a thing, you know what I mean. We're Exclusive!!
