Hey-
It is all possible for you to develope scoliosis in another area after you have already have had the surgery on a section of your spine and its fused?? I have had three surgeries now on the thoracic area and it for the most part(besides maybe one vertebra is fused). I went to the chriopractor last week for a kink in my neck that i have been having for quite awhile now and he needed to take x-rays. My x-rays seem to show a curve now in the lumbar area of my spine...with my three surgeries my back was pretty much completely straight, and now, it looks to be completely crooked!! I dont go to my doctor for my one year check up until june and im starting to freak out. If i have to have surgery will they have to fuse my whole spine?? Will i be able to live a normal life with having that much of my spine fused??? Hopefully someone out there can help me out.
