New here and have a question?

Hi! I am new here to the site and have a question. Has anyone that has had surgery in the thoracic area for kyphoscoliosis had any problems of the kyphosis continuing to progress? I had surgery a year ago and my back between the shoulder blades seems to indent in further than it did post surgery. I have been having problems with muscle spasms from my lumbar area to my neck, giving me headaches, pain in one ear (how weird). I have intermittant shooting pains and prickly pins. Is this just muscle development causing this? I have had a bone scan and blood work done without any explanation of my pain. Dctor has no answers for us with the pain. I am to see my surgeon in April for a routine checkup. We are considering getting another opinion. Any help you could offer would be appreciated Thanks!!!

Great name selection! LOL Welcome to the forum.

Generally the shooting pains are nerve related and might take a little more time. As far as progression is concerned, the only way to tell is with an x-ray. Another opinion wouldn't hurt. How old are you? Age has a lot to do with things.

Thanks (on the username)! lol
I am 15. I had a short period of time post surgery with no pain. Approx 3-4 weeks post surgery. I had a deep suture pop during PT which has caused some pain. Then I had a kid pick me up and swing me around during drama. Only did muscle damage, nothing showed on a bone scan. Doctors said he doesn't know why so much pain. See ya in 4 months, maybe will be better.
