I had severe rotoscoliosis as well as degenerative changes. I had 2 surgeries to fuse T8-S1 with contoured rods and a stabilizing structure transfixing lumbar spine to the pelvis. It was a life saving surgery for me. I was hospitalized for 2 weeks with some gastrointestinal complications. Otherwise I did great. I also have fibromyalgia and Psoriatic arthritis. Multiple doctors in the Dallas area declined to do my surgery due to mainly fibromyalgia. I went to the Mayo clinic in Scottsdale Arizona and Dr. Matthew Neal performed my surgeries. He was a gift from God. He healed me. The severe pain is gone. I highly recommend him. Especially if you are complicated. God bless you and good luck.
