@kwright41175 -

Thank you Kwright. I’ll start with just a couple questions. First, do you walk normal now? Can you describe what your walking looks like?

Can you describe your pain immediately after surgery, 3-4 days after surgery, a week, month, etc.

Why can’t I find any videos online of people who have had long fusions/ scoliosis correction?

Sometimes I feel it must be so horrific that no one wants to talk about it.

Lastly for now. I have been living with my failed fusion for so long (4-5 years) that I’m not sure how bad the pain is. My posture is terrible, I can’t walk around in a grocery store without a cart to lean on. But I don’t think my pain is that bad with my pain meds and rest. I am not sure how to accurately evaluate it anymore.

Thank you in advance.
