Hi Everyone,
Just come back from seeing my specialist and im having surgery Mon 7th May 2007. In the mean time i have to get a MRI done to check my spinal cord cause i do have Congenital malformations in the thoracic part of my spine there checking for thetherod cord... Is this a normal procedure for all patients under going surgery???
Also i have to get a CT scan on my L1,2 &3 vertabres to check the size of my pedicles is this also normal???
He also checked my bending xrays and he said he can only straighten my top curve from 60 to 40 degrees and my lumbar curve will be reduced to around 0 to 5 degrees, which im really happy about.
I was told i would need to wear a brace after surgery but today he told me i won't need to wear one but as long as i be careful there shouldn't be a problem. (i think he trusts me not too be stupid)..
Anyway thought i'd let you all know.
Love Lee
