Oops, sorry about the mistake in gender. It's just that progressive scoliosis is apparently more dominant in females, so I assumed you were such. Anyway, you've got a delightful sense of humor.
I am 57 and have explored surgical treatment options. The reality is I would require a very long fusion and not just one, but two or even three operations. There's another lady who's a member of this forum who underwent the same procedure I would require. She's my age and she suffered a myriad of complications and almost lost her life. So, needless to say, the enormity of this surgery is pretty daunting at my age.
Do it while you're young.
Good luck with your decision.
