Hello all! My mom has had back problems my entire life!
She has Scoliosis and it started giving her problems in 78. Her curve is now at 70 degrees in her lower back. Her rib cage is now on her pelvic bone! The pain is now to where she can't take it.
We meet for the 2nd time on Thursday with Dr Rick Davis at Vandy to discuss the surgery and set a date.
Mom is very nervous about surgery, but knows this is her last opt to be able to stay mobile! She has no pain if she sits or lays, not much fun.
Mom has never given into her back until the last 6 months.
Any words of help? I am wanting to know what to expect with the surgery and after.
Thanks everyone!!
