Hi, I'm new here. Just wondered if there is anybody here with scoliosis or had surgery for scoliosis?
I'm almost 7 months out from spinal fusion surgery. I've been fused T4-pelvis and doing great. Hoping to chat to others pre or post surgery. |

Hi,
I have scoliosis too and am waiting to see how to get mine fixed. Wow, how do you feel having all your Lumbar fused? Were you not a candidate for ADR? Bill |

Sorry, I don't know what ADR is. How big is your curve and have you seen a spine Ortho? |

--if I'm not mistaken, is "artificial disk replacement" in this context.

Thanks glenntaj, I didn't know that. I have never heard of artificial disk replacement as a treatment for scoliosis but I'm hoping Bill will enlighten me. My curve was 68 degrees and my spine was rotating anti-clockwise so I think I needed a little more help than disk replacement. I have two rods from my upper back to sacrum, anchored into my pelvis with 23 screws and a few cross bars.
