Surgery for progressive scoliosis and severe spinal stenosis recovery?

Goodness! Best wishes to you! My surgeon has said the success rate is 85-90%, so 10-15% failure rate. As I found out I have osteoporosis as well, he will not do surgery until I have been on Forteo for at least 3 months. I just started that last week. I don’t know if I will need 1 or 2 rods yet. I am 67, and like you, it is getting worse with time. How soon do you expect to have surgery? We should keep in touch and support each other.
