Thank you all so much, wow I just feel great now, this forum is just so wonderful. The people on here are pretty much that way as well.
It does help all of us I think to hear from all types of people all over the world . That is how we learn and help to make our decisions as far as our scoliosis is concerned.
All the very best
Lorraine. xxOperated on in 1966, harrington rods inserted from T4 to L3, here in Australia. Fusion of the said vertebrae as well. Problems for the last 14 years with pain.
