I need a Spinal Fusion for a severe shield of Scoliosis (78 degrees) Is it worth it? What can I expect?


I found out on Thursday that I need a spinal fusion operation for a severe satchel of Scoliosis. It is a 78 degree curve, I enjoy tried tons of other things (Massage Therapy, Physical Therapy, the Chiropractor) I went from 43 to 78 surrounded by just a few months. What can I expect from the operation?

I also hold Cerebral Palsy. Will this change the outcome of the operation?

Answers:

Leg cramps?


I be born with congential kyphosis and scoliosis.. I have mine fused in 1969.. I'm 53, played sports(did stop contact sports).. I continue to work out run etc..I have 7 fused. Not sure how they count it.but I believe it was 5-12 t that be fused.. I never had a problem.. I did things that I wasn't supposed to do.. close to ride a motorcycle, play golf.. For me.. It was okay worth it. I was surrounded by pain up until 10th title.. Got hurt catching(baseball game my sophmore yr) and go to see a specialist in the S.F. Bay Area.. the rest is history.. Scoliosis is found more contained by teen girls..but like myself.. I met several other males beside slight or severe curatures.. Also, I played on 4 softball teams up until I be 40 and then quit.. not because of my pay for. I just get burnt out. Good luck. I'd do it again If I have too..
