Hello! Im an active 67 year old female but I was 59 when I had my first spinal surgery. My diagnose then was degenerative disc and spinal stenosis. However, where scoliosis has come in was a complication to my S1-T10 fusion 3 years ago. I developed proximal junctional kyphosis and loosening of hardware. Plus sagital imbalance and scoliossis. The good news is just last month at Ohio State Univ I had an additional fusion added.(T4-T10 add in) Jan 2020 I added C3-C7 hardware for my arm pain and numbness due to deterioration of cervical spine. I am still very flexible!! I take care of my own home. Drive my manual trans Camaro, hike, kayak. Really nothing I can't do.

Hi Ohiogirl. If I'm understanding you correctly you are fused from T4 to S1. Is that correct? and you are still flexible? I'm facing a T2 to S1 fusion and I'm trying to understand what life will be like after that and if I will be able to continue my activities (hiking, biking, downhill skiing....) Are you willing to share more information?
