My journey with a T11 to L4 spinal fusion - 40 degree scoliosis curve

@lisamedanic I too have pain when walking any distance or standing for too long. I have never thought it could be because I have scoliosis (I was told by a doctor when I was 22 that I had it and surgery for it was never suggested) but I just chalked it up to aging. I would be interested in your progress. I am 79 so I guess I would not qualify for that surgery …?

@rashida You might if your symptoms were severe enough to warrant a very serious surgery. It depends upon how much it's limiting your life and keeping you from doing the things you want. Everyone's scoliosis is different and progresses differently.
