Scoliosis
Posted: 06-25-06 18:44pm

I was diagnosed with scoliosis back in 1977 as a 14 year old. After wearing a back brace for 3.5 years, I had surgery to correct my curves. (luque-wire technique). I'm interested in talking to or hearing other people's experiences who've had similar surgeries, such as harrington rods, and comparing how we are doing as we reach middle age?

Thanks,
cindy
