I don't like at all still. I can't gain any strength in my torso.

Scoliosis has progressed even with rod, although without it I could be worse or dead.

Looking to see if revision surgery is possible.
Somewhat Helpful
i had rods and screws and other hardware placed in my back to correct the curve and it did correct it but the pain it so intolerable
Somewhat Helpful
It stoped the curve from getting worse, but came with it's set of issues that are now causing more problems than the curve does.
Somewhat Helpful
Stopped the curvature from progressing but still in pain.

surgery was a great success and i was able to go on to do everything my little heart desired until now. the long term effect of the rod and fusion on the lower spinal segments have left them a mess. and me with a great deal of physical issues as well as a decision to make about additional surgery.
Somewhat Helpful
I got the rods many years ago and it has dropped my curve to 41 degrees.
