Scoliosis - Introduce yourself and meet others

I have a 40 degree scoliosis curve and am scheduled for a minimally invasive surgery from L4 to T11. My surgeon said it’s possible that he might be able to do an L4 to T 12 but that will be determined during surgery. My back pain and intermittent sciatic pain dictates what I can do each day, and how long I can do it. It’s getting worse, quickly, and I can’t live the rest of my life like this.
I have been riding horses all my life and hope that I can return to riding after I am completely healed.
I just recently found this support group and I’m so grateful to read and learn about what others have experienced.

Hi, sherrym25. Wishing you all the best with your surgery. I rode horses for more than 20 years and had to quit because of severe osteoporosis and lumbar stenosis. I know how heartbreaking it is to have to give up riding, so want to send encouragement and good thoughts your way. Hope you get back in the saddle soon!
