Hello,
Thank you for your insight. It is very encouraging. I don't have major scoliosis and still working so I will put any further surgeries off as long as I am able to get around ok without a lot of pain. I am glad you are doing so well!

May I ask what the stimulator is exactly? Your comments were helpful. Thank you.

I have heard a few people mention that their upper back area gets sore sometimes too. With a full lumbar fusion. Must be the way your body adapts or postions placing more stress there. Can you do the crawl swim stroke and ride a bike comfortably?

May I ask what type of pain you had from the scoliosis? I ask as I am trying to determine how much of my pain is from scoliosis and what is from sciatica and stenosis. Determining when how much to address for my surgery.

Thanks

Well here I am 2 months after surgery, and not progressing as quickly as some of you. I realize we’re all different, but I am not mobile enough to get out much, and still take pain meds. I see progress, but it’s slow. I’m still grateful for friends and family willing to help. Physical therapy is mild, to keep pain minimized. Just an update. Stay encouraged!
