Hello i am new to the site
So a little about myself, i am 33 and have suffered from kyphosis all my life i was diagnosed at the age of 13 with severe schuermanns but the hospital and consultant were not willing to do any thing because they percieved the reason i wanted surgery was because i told him it was cosmetic reasons. So role on 20 years of constant back pain and all the physcological problems of walking round with a bent back i decided to explore the prospects of surgery once more so i was reffered by my GP to a orthopedic surgeon locally who redignosed me kyphoscoliosis with the emphasis on kyphosis he again said it was severe but would not operate as they was a 80% chance of paralaysis (which i know is rubbish) and again he focosed on the fact i want a straight back for cosmetic purposes (well he would if he had to walk round in my frame). So i was shown the door once again so i am looking for any one with specific knowledge of kyphosis and kyphoscoliosis and if they are any surgeons who operate on kyphosis suffers i am fed up and sick and tired of the constant pain and staring and comments and all the baggage that goes with having a twisted spine
I am originally from Bradford West Yorkshire England but i know live in the north east in South Shields near Newcastle
Thanks for taking the time to read this
