I had spinal fusion T2 to Pelvic. Wads broke weeks after surgery for a paralyzed a suggestion to you don’t have the surgery because the pain is worse. It does not make any difference because your nerves severed.

Update from me75 I had my scoliosis surgery 9/28/23 the doctor had to do a lot more than he had planned it took him 14 hours to do my surgery , he took out my pain stimulator and all hardware from previous back surgeries he had to build a cage in my lumbar spine in order to put new hardware and spacers in thoracic spine then he put rods and screws and bolts in every vertebrae in my spine from bottom of my neck to my tailbone and pelvis . I was in ICU for 2 days had 4 pints of blood and 3 drains in my back . I stay in Tirr Rehabilitation in Memorial Hermann Hospital for 14 days and now I have Home Healthcare for 2 months . I go back to Doctor Quinn in Houston Tx. 11/20 for more X-rays . I’m doing pretty good right now a lot better than I thought I would I’ve learned how to walk again and had to learn how to bend over from hips and not waste , I can get up and down out of bed by myself with help of bed rail my pain level now is usually a 2-3 on a scale of 10 . I thank God for all he has done and is going to do for me , it takes a lot of prayer and determination to go through this kind of surgery . I’m sending X-rays I hope I’ve helped someone God Bless and last but not least my sweet husband has been with me all the way through this . He has taken care of the house work , cooking and helped me bathe and dress myself and keep up with medication and all his prayers to thank God for him

I've had the scoliosis surgery 9\28 now on the road to recovery it has been rough but worth it to me.I was so humped over from broken vertebra in thoracic spine and L345 and s1 surgery .and so then had the scoliosis surgery because of so much pain and balance beening off . I have had a full scoliosis surgery from bottom of neck to tailbone it took 14 hours to do and 4 pints of blood and 5 days in hospital two of them in ICU then went to Tirr Rehabilitation for 10 days and now Home Health Care 3days a week for 3 months ,Medicare has paid for it all .It is had to get use to my body being different and had to learn new ways to doing things but I have a wonderful husband that helps me so much. I go back to doctor next week I'll post you to let you know what he says I hope I have helped you in some way to know what to do , I prayed a lot about it and I know God got me through it all and still is getting me through it all I know Jesus is the #1 Physician and was in surgery with me and sill helping now . Many blessings to you. Let me know what you decide.
