My doctor reffered me to a neurologist to get clearence that it was ok for him to do the surgery. He sent me because he said my scoliosis was a-typical b/c of the large trunk shift. Well we went to the neurologist and for some reason the trunk shift really bothered him...He said he wanted to post pone the surgery to test nerve and muscle function in my back and legs.
I TRULY think that this neurologist is RETARDED. I am a competitive swimmer that competes on a national level! I swim 12,000 yards every day and I LOVE it!!! I have never had any pain or problems!! Despite the scoliosis and trunk shift my times are still improving??? How in the hell could there be something wrong with my muscles or nerves???
We got blood test done, testing the nerves and muscles, and everything came back NORMAL as I EXPECTED!? The neurologist is being very over precautious and i just want to get the surgery done so i can get back into school and swimming faster. Although the doctor says right now that he would have to fuse almost my entire back all the way down to the pelvis to make fully sure that the imbalance issue is corrected.
I'm just very stessed and annoyed right now lol. Has this issue ever happened to anybody else and how was the outcome of this type mess? I will try to post some pics of my x rays tomorrow sometime.
