Hi
Last week I was getting my Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted in my Lumbar and I heard the surgeon make mention that I have a 'scoliosis' ?! I was awake during the procedure but pretty sedated, so I didn't really comprehend the scope of what he said and it wasn't mentioned during my recovery time.
It seemed to me that he didn't make a big deal out of it, but I'm wondering now if this could have been the culprit to my bilateral leg pain of 5 yrs which led me to finally get the SCS?!

I will be asking the doc more about this at my follow up visit, but wanted to know if anyone could enlighten me about this 'scoliosis'. I've googled it, but found it mostly related to early teens or older adults developing arthritis of the spine.
I'm 46 and have noticed increasing pain in lower back, but the burning leg pain always took center stage, so i didn't pursue the back issue.
