I've just discovered this forum and I'm so excited with what I've seen so far! Now I'd love some input from anyone willing to share. I'm 45 yo, was diagnosed with mild scoliosis at 13, did the chiropractic thing for about 10 years and have basically tried to ignore the curves. After having progressively worse pain for the last 10 years I finally saw a spine specialist is OKC last August. I have a left thoracic 49* curve from T5-T11 and a right thorocolumbar 60* curve from T11-L4 and DDD in my neck. He said surgery is in my future it's just up to me to decice when. I've since been seeing a pain mgnt. doctor and had 3 epidurals but haven't had much luck reducing the pain. I've also been told by both the spine dr. and the pain mgnt. dr. that surgery won't necessarily help the pain and since that's the main reason I'm considering surgery, I'm a little disheartened and just don't know what to think. I welcome any comments anyone would like to share.
