I have a 12 year ago daughter with a S curvature. She wore a brace from age 8 to 9. Had Spinal Fusion at age 9. Wore a brace for another 2 years. Age 11 they tried to put in Harrington Rods and during surgery her nervous system shut down. She was fused from C1 to L1 again.
Now they want to break the fusion and cut out wedges from her spine to relieve pressure on the nerves and try the Rods again.
I don't know what to do???????
She is at the best hospital in Canada - The Hospital for Sick Kids - Toronto.
She has 2 doctors Dr. B. Alman and Dr. Lewis from Toronto Western Hospital.
I am thinking of getting a second opinion in the states - But where?????
Can someone direct me to an excellent doctor.
Thanks
Manuela
