I had 12 vertebrae fused in 1961. Then in 1987 had Harrington rods put in. I am now 76 and my right leg and foot are totally numb. I am on walker and wonder if anything can be done.

I found a great Doctor on the Scoliosis Foundation Website. I had my fusion in 1975 at 16, then 2015 had remaining 4 bottom fused. Feet burn and are numb, I have broken both ankles. Tore my knee and had it replaced. This isnt for sissy's!!!
