Re: TOPS lumbar surgery
Can you qualify for this if one has SCOLIOSIS? I do not know the degree of Scoliosis I have, but
suddenly in the past year I walk bent forward and to the right.
I am healthy; proactive; determined; and semi-desperate.
Until 2 yrs. ago when I moved from Greenwich, CT to Sewickley, PA I was playing pickleball and golf frequently and served on my Town Government in CT.
But now my system seems to have gone into hibernation - QUALITY OF LIFE AND MENTAL ATTITUDE have declined.
I have been diagnosed and treated for: STENOSIS, SPONDYLOLISTHESIS AND SCOLIOSIS.
Will Scoliosis PREVENT ME FROM BEING A TOPS patient?
Strike 1: Will Scoliosis inderfere w/ TOPS?
Strike 2: Pls. keep an open mind. I am determined and ready.
This fact I must admit is that I am 84. I do not look it, feel it, or act it!!! At am strong, mentally alert and ready for an experiment. BTW, I was in P.T. 2024 for a year for severe neck pain and lumbar pain. Well, it worked - my neck pain improved 95% but my back pain did not.
Thank you for any info................
