Answers:
In 1984, I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 12 during one of those junior high screenings!. I was very scared at first, but got in with a good group of doctors at Shriner's Hospital and they put me so at ease!. I wore a Wilmington brace from under my arms to just over my hips for 10 mo!., then had surgery shortly before I turned 14 (1985)!. My top curve was fused using stainless Steel Harrington rods and bone chips from my hip!. I had to go back into a brace about a year after my surgery for 10 mos!. until my bottom curve was stabilized!.

I'm as normally functioning as anyone!. Having surgery in summer, I never got off schedule with school!. Graduated college at 20 and have been an OR nurse for 16 years, one of the most physically demanding areas of nursing (lots of lifting and lots of standing in one place for long periods)!. I love to travel (I don't set off metal detectors), yoga (though the fusion prevents some positions), and SCUBA dive!. I can pretty much do anything I want!. My bottom curve aches now and then, I'm supposed to take 1-2 Alleve at bed time, but us nurses are awful patients, so I don't do it regularly!.

My sex life has not had any problems and I've had 2 children without difficulty (didn't even use an epidural)!. If your curve is greater than 40 degrees, then surgery may be recommended to prevent heart &/or lung problems, or trouble carrying a pregnancy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
