Anyone have scoliosis surgery after age 60? Outcome?

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 ..

@franpat1950 Hi, I had T 4 -S 1 fused. At 58 3 years ago I could not walk but 40 ft and was bent over. My surgery outcome was great. I am straight I can walk. There are some things that are challenging without the flexibility in the spine. Couldn't do a sit up. But don't regret it ever. Recovery was easier then I expected. I had pain after surgery but not as bad as before surgery. The pain meds worked on the pain after surgery. Before surgery the nerve pain was constant and I was getting worse. After surgery the pain was getting less and less. I hope this helps any other questions let me know. Good luck
