I was actually born with scoliosis - an S curve - and it wasn't really bothered with until I was 11 years old.  I also have brittle bone disease (Osteogenesis Imperfecta Types III/IV) so the fractures and corrective procedures were...

Boy!  I can tell you about pain.  That hurts.  I had no doctors who knew about this and most did not care if I did hurt.  I started having pain so badly when I was 18, I could barely walk.  The pain would go and come, but when I...

I'm 18 now but I got my surgery when I was 14. I had two curves (s shaped) the top being about 45 degrees and the lower around 58 degrees. I only had to get surgery on the lower part. So instead of making an incision along my spine...

Hi , I am very scared and nervous about the upcoming surgery. My surgeon said he will go in just below the shoulder blades...(lined up to spine of course) and down the to sacrum and do caging on that area. I am sorry i am not well...

I just had a spinal fusion from T12 to T2 and man was it a crazy experience. When I found out my scoliosis had worsened to 62 degree and surgery was my only option I sorta felt nothing. I had very little nerves and up until the day did...

So my story is that it was discovered that I had scoliosis at the age of 9. I wore a back brace for 3 years (23 hours a day) but my case was too severe to even be stopped. My curve is a S curve, and my spine itself is very twisted. When...
