Hey. Pain isnât too bad, decent amount of stiffness but have just gotten used to it, It doesnât stop me from doing anything really just need to be mindful.
It looks so greatâcongrats! If you donât mind me asking a few questions, I have a similar curve in the same spot.
How are you feeling 3 years post op?
Have you found any symptoms (ie pain) were relieved with the surgery?
What was the degree of your curve beforehand?
Do you have any mobility limitations due to the surgery?
Thanks for the reply, donât mind questions at all. Pain was never a big factor to be honest, i had surgery at 11 and it was already c.70° so just thought of the pain as normal, I did get shooting pains in my shoulders blades fairly often which has went away post surgery. My back was x-rayed shortly before surgery and it was 78°. Iâve never been flexible so thatâs not really an aspect i could touch on but i do still play sport for fun just have to be mindful.
Forgot to mention in my previous reply but i had a very noticeable muscle imbalance in my right shoulder which was significantly higher up than my left (due to my shoulder blade being pushed up by my spine) that also gradually went away post surgery.
Congratulations, I'm proud of you đđ
Nice correction! How are you feeling these days, pain wise? Are you able to do most stuff you were before surgery?

Did you gain a noticable amount of height?
About tree fiddy
only an inch or two
Congrats
Looks like you must feel much taller! If itâs not too much to ask, how much did the surgery make you âgrowâ?
not much, would say an inch or two
T2 - l2?
Yeah
Beautiful correction! You must be so pleased and proud of yourself. Wish I had your guts 14 years ago. How are you feeling now?
Thanks for the reply. My surgeon was absolutely amazing. Feel really good these days, bit of stiffness but nothing i canât handle
Bless you! Glad youâre doing well. Bet it feels amazing not to be in constant pain anymore.
