got 1 week till my op!

Would like to hear from others that are over 45+ that had scolisis and kyphosis surgeries.

At 8 weeks post-op, I've been having to deal with some pretty bad pain.

it worked well but still recovering

it will be required.

The surgery for me has worked up to this point, I have a lot of pain in my right side, and can't seem to walk straight anymore. I'm going to the dr. in a few days to find out what the next step is. I am not saying it's due to the surgery, because I'm not sure yet. but I have a fear it is. and also a fear of surgery again. I am 28years old and had the surgery when I was 12. Michelle

Have 2 rods on either side of spine.... fixed pain I had added pain 50 times worst.

hte rods should be stuck up someones rear end. they ruined my life and i do not advise anyone to get them.

i had the rods put in on march 2008. the first couple of months i was feeling better as time passed. it has now been 7 months since my surgery and i feel worse than i did before surgery

Recently had a bone scan on C,T and lumbar spine, still waiting for results. I know I also developed flat back(not confirmed) cause I can't stand up straight. I also feel very crooked again, kinda how i felt before the spinal fusion. I am now being referred to either a neurosurgeon or orthopaedic surgeon, neurologist not sure who I should see. VERY, VERY FRUSTRATING. I am not living a productive life anymore, and I'm at my wits end.
