Nerve pain?

You guessed correctly I see!

So essentially, simply having scoliosis for years seems to predispose folks to some of these complications.

I see that as an argument to fuse earlier rather than later, especially if early fusion can be shown to reliably reduce complications/pain/disability over later fusion.

Amen to that Sharon. The first surgeon I saw told me to wait until I was in a wheelchair. Unfortunately I didn't get a good referral from my primary care Doc. I'm glad I decided to look elsewhere.

Geez ... and I just started getting it at about 14 months post op. It's more of a dull ache from the top of my quad down to a few inches above my knee. Stretching the Psoas muscle and my quads do seem to help.

I do notice it's more present when I don't keep my hamstrings and lumbar area stretched ... yet all said, it feels oddly like a nerve thing ...
