Surgery vs no surgery
Hi-
I am a 47 yo F with 66 deg T, 55 deg L compensatory curve with large right sided rib hump.
Up until a year and a half ago I had no pain, but after encountering pain I went in for a consult and was told I should have the surgery.
I am trying to get in for another opinion, but surgery is a last resort in my mind. I have been doing other things trying to ease the intermittent pain and am not held back because of it in my life, am very active.
You can read other posts from me in this forum for more info, but..
Even though surgery is easier the younger you are..I will wait til the last possible time as it is a huge deal with NO guarantees either.. When or if it gets to the critical point I will then do it and I will be in good shape even in 20 more years.. Staying in good shape as possible is key in my opinion..
Technology also is always happening.. could be better down the road..
Good luck..
