T-3 on down spine surgery

I had severe back pain for many many years, I asked can I just have my spine straightened? Had a kind of S shaped spine, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, alot Dr. Elder did just that T3 on down 2 surgery's, yes terrible terrible pain, now I have no pain in that area I never imagined that i could go from extreme everyday pain for years, to ZERO pain in that area of my back, I would do it again in a heartbeat, I was told a few years ago that that surgery would be too much pain for anyone to endure from a different clinics spine Dr. Well Mayo Clinic neurosurgeon Dr. Elder and his team did do the surgery, in my eyes it was a miracle surgery. They are a AMAZING GROUP. THANK YOU. hope this message is useful to someone out there.
