hi, my name's laura, i'm 16, and i've had a brace for about.... 2 1/2 years. Now i only have to wear it at night (although i've been slacking but i have question. i've been having back pain (lower back area), when i get up in the morning it is the worst. i thought it was cause i haven't been wearing my brace, so i started wearing it again. but it still hurts so, people that have had surgery, i want your opinions:
1. i'm in marching band, is that considered a sport? how long would i have to wait before i could march?
2. would i be "stiff" for the rest of my life??? that's my main concern....
3. Do you have back pain for a LONG time later (like years and years?)
i'm just worrying that if i don't get surgery, i'll end up a crippled old lady with back pain
but i'm also worried that if i do get surgery, i'll be a cripppled old lady who can't bend over
another question... is laser surgery even an option??
thank you everyone!
