Hello everyone!! My name is Julia. I am 22, I live with my fiance' and my 5 year old daughter Heaven, I reside in Albuquerque New Mexico. My doctor is going to schedule my surgery on October 15th. He said it will probably be about a month from then. He post-poned it because I have to quit smoking!!
I am very scared to have this surgery but I am in constant pain and I can never sleep. I cannot stand or sit too long before my eyes start tearing up from the pain. Sometimes while working my right shoulder and arm go numb. My curve is 50 degrees on top.
My doctor said he can't gaurantee any pain reduction, and the curve will be fixed by about 50%.
DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT TO YOU?
WILL MY BODY BE STIFF AFTER? CAN YOU BEND YOUR SPINE?
CAN I QUALIFY FOR ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WHILE I'M RECOVERING FROM SURGERY? IS IT WORSE IF THEY HAVE TO REMOVE ANY RIBS?? WILL I BE TALLER?
I have so many questions but I'll start with these,
thank you all so much for sharing your stories, I don't feel so alone now.
