I am a 28 year old and I've had scoliosis since I was 13. I was braced...I had about a 15 or so degree curve and it has progressed to a 45 degree curve I think in my lumber...I don't know as much about it as some of you guys!
Anyways, I'm contemplating surgery. I met w/ Dr. Kirk Wood (Mass General) and he said he would operate on me.
My family/friends don't want me to do it. I'm uncomfortable in my own skin. I ache all the time and I also feel so deformed...I hate wearing a bathing suit on the beach and try not to wear anything tight on top.
I know surgery is a personal decision and it's helpful to read about some of your journeys....any feedback is much appreciated.
I recently was got access to post so sorry this is so long...I'm excited!
Thanks, Christina
