Hello all. I am 32 and I am having surgery Nov. 3rd. from T4 to L4. I have a double major T-71 degrees and L-62 degrees. I don't really have a lot of pain now. my lower back does get tired really fast. Sitting or standing for 30 minutes or more makes it feel as if I have spend the day bend over and lifting heavy loads. the main reason for my surgery is just progression. My curves generally increased by about 1 degree a year over the last 10 years and they stay fairly even until the last year. 13 months ago it was T-62, L61. So my upper curve increased by 9 degrees in that time. I am okay with the surgery and the risk and such. My main concern or worry is more pain after surgery. Not surgical pain (thats expected) but more everyday back pain after the surgery. Most of my family has some kind of back problem and they just don't understand why I would have this surgery when I am not in very much pain. They have me convinced that I will regret it. Any thoughts?
