  • My scoliosis - what to do with it

    Hello everybody.
    I think I said something about me first time. So I am Marta and I live in Poland.
    I am in European Studies in my country, but it isn't what I want to say you.

    I have had 3 x-rays in my life.
    On first x-rays in march 2001 I had 60*th / 45* l
    On second in december 2003 I had 58*th / 45* l
    On my last x-rays in october 2005 I had 20*/ 60 - 65* th / 38*l

    After this x-rays I haven't any. I think Now is time to make new.
    I december 2005 I wrote myself to queue for operation I is more than one year than I'm waiting for it and I don't know is operation necessary for me ??
    What do you think ??

    A I add that I nad 2 cheneau braces.

    What is your opinion about it ??
    You may say I am a dreamer but I'm not the only one

    Miki, How old are you? (are you done growing)? It seems like it might be time to get another set of Xrays to see where your curves are currently as a starting point? Good luck with whatever you decide.

    -Braced in spinecor 10/07 - 8/12 with excellent in brace correction and stable/slightly decreased out of brace curves.
    -Introduced Providence brace as adjunct at night in 11/2011 in anticipation of growth spurt. Curves still stable.
    -Currently in Boston Brace. Growth spurt is here and curves (and rotation) have increased to 23T/17L

        Miki,

        It is not for any of us to give our opinions to you as to whether you need surgery. We can support you and give you other types of advice, but we can not advise you with the little bit of info you have given us. We are not doctors. I wish you the best.

          Maj, the same was said to her in another thread, where she posed the same query.
          Fusion is NOT the end of the world.
