Hi everyone,
I have at least three curves that since surgery in 54 have progressively became worse, just recently after fifty years of reasonably pain free life. I have had numerous problems, including breathing and increased pain, but presently no surgery is being scheduled for this guy. Again it is a serious problem and is personal for that person, if they want or need surgery, I too have heard that surgery is usually only considered and should be by the individual with scoliosis if it reaches that 50 percent mark.
Two of my curves are beyound the 60 mark and one is at 30, I have no metal parts of anykind or rods so I do expect that this will continue (progressive) and the degenerative desease of my spine. But I'm happy with my life and the accomplishments that I have made, so right now no surgery because it would take more than one and there is no guarantee.
