Hi! I am 42 years young! I have scoliosis. They found it when I was in the 3rd grade and I wore a Milwaukee brace until 6th grade. It got worse despite wearing the brace for 23 hours everyday! I had surgery in 1976, I now have a Harrington rod in my back.
I am not really having any back problems but am having some stomach pains right now. Had an ultrasound today to check my gall baldder. I do have lower back pain when doing yard work or sometimes if I lie in bed too long!!
I am amazed to read some of the posts on here and see how much surgery has changed over the years! When I had my surgery, I was in a full body cast for a year!!! I couldn't sit down for that entire year-I was tutored from home for the 7th grade!!
I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am looking for people who have gone thru what I did or similar, close to my age to become friends with. Is this forum a good place or is there another one somewhere else??
