To Maura:
Good luck to you and with your decision. I was also 26 when I had my surgery, after being in some amount of pain for less than a year and finding out that I had a 60 degree curve(wore the Boston brace as a teen and left the hospital at 18 refusing surgery, wich was the best decision I made at the time since I was mostly pain free for those years, until I was 26). I did get additional surgeries- but those are some of the risks- and sometimes wonder if I would have waited a bit longer and tried other things, but in the end I was right to have it, since the curve was big, and I didn't have to get anterior as well- just posterior with hip graft. I took a leap of faith, didn't have much of a choice.
