I'm 15 and have a 50 degree lumbar curve with a pelvic tilt.
I am very active.
Because of my condition my doc told me I should stop playing soccer an lacrosse, but now i am a goalie in lacrosse and I have taken up swimming, which my doc reccomended.
I will be having fusion surgery to fuse I believe vertebrae L1-L4.
I am curious to ask you all about what will happen to me from the surgery.
My doc told me to anticipate a loss of mobility.
Will i be able to still snowboard, play the sports i am playing(swimming and lacrosse goalie), run, and do everything else i like to do? Will it handicap me a all? How much mobility should i expect to lose?
And will I be in alot of pain after the surgery? And will it be lasting, and worse than the current pains I have in my back?
Also I have a couple of complications from my condition, vertebra degeneration and sponge compression, will these things add to the severity of the surgery?
How long will it be before i will be recovered enough to go to school, and when i should be fully recovered?
I am not scared of the procedure, just the lasting implications of it, like how it will affect my life.
