abhbarry,
I don't know how much pain is too much. I usually dismiss it and go about my daily routine. Rarely does pain keep me down. I'm just not the type of person who can sit around, regaurdless of the amount of pain I'm in. I think you just get used to living with it. This worries me too that after surgery I will try to do too much, too soon. I take Motrin or Naproxen daily, that helps. I also see a chiopractor which also helps. If pain was the only factor, I would probabally never have surgery. I didn't even realize the degree of my disfigurement till recently after viewing a home movie of our vacation. I just trained myself to believe for so long that I too was OK. I worry about the my curve causing organ failure and want to get this surgery over with while I'm fairly young and healthy. If you don't want kids for 2-3 years. I suggest having surgery now.
I wanted to have kids first. I know that it shouldn't be a problem after surgery but I was still concerned. I was scheduled to have surgery after my 1st child because the pain did get worse. Then found out I was pregnant with my 2nd. Which really was a blessing in disguise because I would have had to wait 2 years before trying again. My boys are only 16 months apart and I love that because they entertain each other quite a bit. Of course, they fight too, most of all they love each other!
