Hi. I'm new to the board and it's been helpful reading all of the experiences. I play college sports and was hoping to wait until I got out of college to have surgery, but the Dr. I have had for 5 years and trust will not be able to do the surgery after this year because he is a pediatric orthopedic using a pediatric hospital. Not only do I want him to do the surgery, but my curve progressed 10% in a little over a year and I'm tired of the back aches and the clothes not fitting right, and I just think the time is right to do it now. However, I planned to resume soccer in the fall after a May 9 surgery. What I am reading on the board is that this might be unrealistic. My Dr. felt that with the new techniques and new instsrumentation, it could be a possibility in 3 - 4 months if all goes well. Any opinions on this? I've just turned 20, am in great physical condition with no other health issues.
