Ok, I have met with three doctors about my 52 degree lumbar curve and went to the fourth doctor yesterday. The first three doctors recommended surgery, both A/P. The doctor yesterday, said that he doesn't do elective surgery until it reaches 60 degrees and his recommendation would be to follow me for two years or until it reaches 60 degrees. WHY ARE DOCTORS ALL OVER THE PAGE, IN THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS? I told him about my pain and loss of height in the last year. He said that he can't go by height, because people are taller in the morning and he didn't know when the measurements are taken (shoes, no shoes). I was getting myself ready to have the surgery, until this fourth doctor said that he wouldn't recommend it until 60 degrees and would just manage the pain for two years! Sorry, just venting!
