Adult Scoliosis: What is surgery like? Outcomes? Recovery?

I actually don't know if I have had it all my life. I suspect yes. I have it now so not sure if it matters. I have been told by.two surgeons that fusion of just a couple lumbar will make my spine unstable above and cause more problems. Thanks for your thoughts.

Good luck with whatever you choose, it is a hard choice.
I'm in the same boat a possible improvement in quality of life but at the risk of it not getting better or becoming worse after surgery.
Me personally I am the sole support in a 1 man business so at this point not willing and (scared to death) to take that risk although my vision is probably clouded by my wifes problems she has had with fusions.
Eventually I may not have a choice, just learning to accept what I can do. Went to see Springsteen last night. Wife in wheelchair me pushing, only able to stay for about 1/2 the show but it was awsome to enjoy what we could.
