Hi! I was wandering how rare kyphoscoliosis was. I have a 50 degree thoracic curve and a 40 degree lumbar curve with about a 75 degree kyphosis curve. I have very little pain with no limitations. I have consulted three doctors who all say that I should wait and monitor on a yearly basis. One of these doctors was Keith Bridwell who is considered on of the best. He says 50 percent would do it now and 50 percent would wait. He says I am on the boarderline for surgery. I was wandering how many of you would wait and how many would have the surgery. I am also planning a wedding in March and was wandering if I should go ahead with it. I also need to lose about 50 lbs. I would love some insight for those people who are more experienced then me. I am also scheduled for my first MRI in the next month. I am 27 years old. My 50 degree thoracic is very rigid. I currently tale no medication for pain only ibprofren rarely.
Thanks again,
Becky
