My teenage daughter had anterior/posterior spinal fusion for a 64 degree thoracic curve 2 years ago. Since she has recovered, she has had daily back pain and sometimes rib and chest pain. She has been taking Bextra for 2 years and can't cope without it. She is in pain every single day. All x-rays are normal and the spine has healed well.
Her surgeon explained that the muscles have a very long memory and are most likely the cause of the pain.
I've taken her to several doctors about the pain, which can keep her in bed for days. Some have suggested physical therapy but we've been unable to find someone who specializes in scoliosis kids.
Anyone else have a similar case or any ideas?
