Before and After Scoliosis Pictures

Here are some pictures of my back: 9 months before surgery, post surgery, and first day home from the hospital.

It was graet to see the before and after photos. Do you have a photo of your back like the one you have at the end? It would be nice to see.

I have a 33 Lumbar curve that the doctors say does not need to be operated on, something I do not agree with. When I had an xray about a year ago it was 29.7 so there is a difference. It's nice to know others are going through the same, especially as a female.

I would seek another opinion from one to two more doctors if you can. Being under 40 degrees is good but having progession, especialy of 3 degrees in one year is not, especially if you have a mature skeletal system.

I saw three doctors when I was considering surgery. Two said I needed surgery and one said I didn't need it now, that I could wait until I was in my sixties because he would need to fuse my entire spine. So, I would see someone else just to see what they recommend, and ask them why they would treat you the way they intend.

The last time I had xrays of my back was this summer and I did not get a copy of the films. I will post a picture of my back so you can see how light my scar is-you can barely see it.

I like to spend time in the internet and surf Google looking for something worthy to read or at least look through... There's so much garbage nowadays ( and that's why I'm glad to have found your resource. Simply wanted to say that this site is one of my favorites, there's always something to read. I wish you good luck and many devoted readers ) My resource for you – rapidshare SE( http://www.rapidsharemix.com ) with huge database

The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality. ~Henri Cartier Bresson
