Thank you for all your information . It’s so helpful to hear someone else’s experience that has been through scoliosis surgery . Right now I’m so afraid I might move the wrong way and cause harm to my hardware so I’m very stiff feeling and tinse and that makes my muscles feel tired and hurt , doctor doesn’t want me to ware a neck collar very much cause I will depend on it to much but I’m learning to keep my head inline with my body. I have a lot of shoulder pain , hopefully that will go away and my walking is a little jerky on one side . Thank you so much for listening to me , it’s feels so good to talk to someone that has been through this .
