Hey Everyone!
Wow, didn't even knew forums like this existed. My name is Benedicte and I’m 21.
I have severe scoliosis and have since 1998 had 3 unsuccessful scoliosis surgeries. In my case it has always been one step forward and two steps backwards. In 2004 I contacted a doctor in Toronto, at this point I didn't believe that anything could be done for me, but I wrote to him in a desperate attempt to get a 2nd opinion on my scoliosis. And about 2 month later I received an answer from him, saying that he definitely believed that a so-called: "spinal osteotomy" could help me! This answer was more positive then I ever had imagined, and it is still hard for me to believe. To me it's just totally amazing.
And even though these doctors wasn't able to offer me treatment, I'm very thankful for their response, cause' now when I know that more can be done for me, I have gotten the strength to keep going.
Now I "only" need a doctor who specializes in osteotomies
I'm ready to travel any where in the world to get to a specialist!
Do any of you know who is considered to be the best with this in the US??!
I really hope that anyone can help me!
Thank you.
