Hello everyone!,
This is an incredible forum I'm sooo glad I found it!
This is my story: Diagnosed with scoliosis at the age 12. Wore a milwaukee for about a year.
Now I'm 30 years old and my scoliosis progressed to 95* thoracic and 70* thora-lumbar.
I have pains now and then, but I can continue my life if I take an Ibuprofen.
I thought It was about a time to check how my back was doing, and I went to see DR. Pashman here in Los angeles. He told me that my curvatures are huge and I need surgery. Open anterior and posterior. Every single person tells me DON'T DO IT. So I have no idea what to do. I need help. I know my spine is very deformed, but the pains are not super great. So If I do this is, It is to correct and to prevent pains in my future. I'm scared because I heard that people have pain after the surgery. So If I don't have great pain right now, and I have pains after I know I'm going to regret it.
My surgery is schedule for sept. 3rd. and I'm thinking of getting a second opinion, but with an almost 100* curve I know what they going to say.
I'm soooo scared.
