whatsup everyone, i didn't know this site was so huge. Anyways, my name is ben and I am 17 with scoliosis. i am a senior at an all boys bording school. i have a thoracic curve of 57 degrees and a lumbar curve of about 35. I was told that i need surgery and there is no way to prevent it. The problem is that i love sports. its coming to the wrestling season and after that, soccer season. If i were to have surgery now, i would not make it for either of those seasons. If i postpone it to the end of my senior year, it could get significantly worse. this would mean that the surgery would involve more vertibra further down the spine. First of all, my question is whether anyone was in this type of situation? what were your degrees measured at? did you go through with surgery? what was the recovery time? Were you able to participate in athletics again? if i could get an answer or any comments at all as soon as possible, i would appreciate it immensely.
thanks, Ben
thanks, Ben
