Anyone have scoliosis surgery after age 60? Outcome?
Spine Health | Last Active: 4 hours ago | Replies (4)Comment receiving replies
@franpat1950 I would get a second medical opinion. Back surgery is complicated enough for someone under 70 but I would imagine that same surgery for someone over 70 would be dicey. I was told, very casually by a doctor during a physical when I was around 22, that I have scoliosis. It may not be as severe as yours, but I have never considered surgery nor has any doctor ever suggested it - probably because it is not severe enough …? I will be 80 in a few months so I am sure it is not an option for me anyway. 🤷🏼♀️

I was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 18 but I’ve always walked straight and never gave it a second thought.
Always been a active sports person. Until about the age of 70? Started getting epidurals in my lower back. For my stenosis and spondylitis. They worked for a while but then not. And then I needed spine surgery, hoping some one who has had the surgery to write back ..
