I am 38 years old and have Idiopathic scoliosis. I started having backaches during my second pregnancy about 2.5 years back. My curve has progressed from 25 to 36 degrees in the last two years (after delivery). Has it to do with hormonal changes during pregnancy or the extra weight from lifting and carrying my son around? My orthopedic surgeon says I am a good candidate for surgery and referred me to a spine surgeon yesterday. Can someone recommend a good spine surgeon in New York/NJ/Conneticut area.
My backache is bearable, I never had to take pain killers for it and don’t have trouble sleeping. Just bending or sitting for an hour or more hurts my back. Would going through this major surgery be worth it? How does it feel to have all this hardware in your back? If only the curve would stop where it is!!!
Thanks
