Scoliosis affects all ages. Unlike the naturally occurring curves in the spine, scoliosis causes the spine to curve abnormally to the left or right.

7 to 10 days if the recovery goes smoothly, and there's no infections and you can sit up on the first day.

I had my op on may 24th and was in the hospital for 3 weeks. I had some side affects to medicines and was not able to use the restroom on my own. It was very hard being in one room for so long. I am sure you will not be in there that long...but better to know what could go wrong.

Well sadly I was in for 3 monthes. I had major complications from my first surgery, no rods were able to be placed. Than I went into a body cast with a turnbuckle, for about 2 monthes, than another surgery, than got infection so had to have another surgery to rinse the incisions, and clear the infection. than home about 2 weeks latter. That is VERY rare to have so many probs, but i am rare lol. Usually about a week to 10 days

Amount of time in the hospital depends as you know on many factors. I recently had surgery.... fusion L2 down. I was in acute hospital 10 days and transferred to 2 weeks of rehab. Some people do not do rehab; however, i am an older patient than most.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
