Thanks so much for your reply! Are you able to resume all your normal activities? Are you pain free now? As you can probably tell, I am terrified of having the surgery, but can’t live like this either. I am experiencing acute sciatica due to the curvature, which is compressing nerves. I need assistance with a cane to walk. This is so difficult because I have always been an active person. You have given me hope that the surgery is worth it. Wishing you good luck with your recovery!❤️🩹

No, I'm not pain free. Some days are better than others. I'm in physical therapy and seeking to build up to more activity. I went in knowing it's a process (lengthy). I'm trying to get ready for a family wedding next year. I've been there with having to get surgery, because what I was living with was too much. It was the lesser of 2 evils. As far as the cane, I have several. Better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them. Give yourself grace.
