I saw a doctor the other day who said he could successfully do surgery on my spine. He would put screws along the bones and straighten out the spots that are too curved, and he said that it would get rid of the existing pain. Has anyone else had this type of surgery and has any input on what happened to you afterwards? I would really appreciate your thoughts and discussion on the surgery because I am quite nervous and unsure, but I just need some input and outside thoughts. Thank you!

I wish I could help you with some real experience, but I can't. I think if I had to go through back surgery, I'd be nervous too. I guess it depends on the surgeon, hospital, and how severe it is as to how to make the best decision.
I'll support you though :)
@jonthecomposer Thank you!
hi my name is katrina west my son went though what you are going to have done about 5 years ago he had screws put in and all the rest of it before my son had the op he had back ache and he had to wear that back brace wish he hated but since he had the operation he has no back pain at all cause you are going to be nervurs its natural . my son needs personal care as he cant bend or reach to clean him self i hope you find this uses full
anniemay the doctor is right the operation will get rid of the pain last time my son had a pain in his back was 2010 and he happy pain free katrina west
@westy.com.1 Thank you for reply, and I hope you don’t mind I want to pick your brain on what happened and the surgery. How many screws did he get in? And can he not bend over at all? What’s his range of mobility? I’m so glad he’s out of pain, it’s terrible.
I had scoliosis surgery 2 years ago. If you have any questions let me know. It was the best decision I have ever made.
@carolinagirl22 Yes i would love to talk about it!
