I HAD a rod & titainium screws put in my back 6mths. ago. I was diagnosed with scoliosis several yrs. ago. It went from a 27 degree angle in Nov., to a 45 degree angle in march. I also have degenerative artheritis on every vertibray in my back. My problem now is that after my surgery, I have not straightened up yet. I had alot of leakage from the bottom of my spine about 1 month after my surgery. It healed itself after abuot 3 wks. I am wondering if that might be a reason for not being able to stand up straight yet. The dr. says my spine is bent & he hasn't figured out why this is happening. Any input or feedback would be appriciated. Thank you.
