This video is great. Awesome as. Thank you Linda Digby for sharing your story. I have scoliosis of my spine and I may need some surgery on my spine. Much appreciation ox ox
Thank you for this! It's very difficult to find cases that aren't teenagers! Im 50 and I'm having a 2 day surgery in a few weeks. The first day they're going in thru my side to open up & fuse my L4-L5 & L5-S1 and the following day to do the rod & screws from my pelvis to T4. Your video helped me tremendously! Thank you 🙏🏼😊
Will they do surgery on adult scoliosis where the curve is caused by 2 hemivertebrae? S shaped curve all in the lumbar region 52 degrees at top of S about L1 or L2 and about 36 at bottom of S shape near L5 and S1.
Saying ‘no pain’ after surgery is not realistic. No matter what surgery you have, on any area of your body, you will have some surgical pain. It makes this testimony suspect to me. Truth is best. If not, then everything said is suspect.
Why did my Dr. tell me surgery would not help me .He said he could go in and put rods screws but it would not help me .He said it would not straighten my back or take away my pain . But if I got to where I could not walk come back and he could help me with that .??? I saw a woman out side of many Drs.office .She said she had surgery and was worse now than before the surgery ..?????
I love this story. I too have lumber scoliosis but nobody wants to help me. I’m 70 years old and have lived with this for 20+ years. I’m in Canada and although we have healthcare, we don’t have the same options as elsewhere. I guess I’m just going to have to live with it. I’m happy that this was a great outcome.
Great to hear a sucess story about scoliosis surgery in adults. Chronic back pain is no fun and I am glad you are back in the game. Here's to may years of pain-free life and thank you for sharing the experience.
I wonder how she never noticed it before ? It seems like you could notice if your spine was curved or someone else would have seen it when they were at the pool or something.
Most spinal fusions work initially. But20+ years afterward you’ll be disabled. Please consider this fact before agreeing I am 52 years old. Spine fused at 15. So I know of what I speak. There are alternatives to surgery
Please share the alternatives. I’m almost 40 years old, with severe scoliosis, and feeling numbness in my leg. I’ve seen a chiropractor, I’ve tried the Schroth Method, yoga, what else can I do?
@jenniferbaez1725 For nerve pain/numbness, the only thing I've discovered that helps is CBD w/THC. The one I used was a 20:1 mix (20 parts CBD, 1 THC). Not all CBD is the same, so you must do your due diligence and find a legitimate brand. I'd suggest a reputable dispensary.
@@LucasHendrickx Not till the end of of year as I need to have sinus surgery. They want me to get that out of the way before they schedule me. I will be praying for you.
@@susannaden2736 thank you. yesterday they changed my operation in a smaller fusion of to get the stenosis fixed, later they will see if i can cope. i am pretty scared that after fusion 2/3 of the spine will leave me with little movement

I have heard that but only in the lower back surgery. I heard upper back surgery is much better than lower
Thank you sooo much I am encouraged by your testimony. Having surgery on November 4th🙏

Why can't I do those things? Walk, stand or anything for periods of time. Im in pain all day 😫
What were your symptoms.. other than pain
What were all of the symptoms???
Hey… how are you doing?
Linda, can you tell us your story openly on a channel of your own?
I need help. Can someone help me
Thank you for sharing. I am having a fusion surgery next week. This video helped alot
how are you now?
Sooo glad your doing BETTER
God-bless you
I am having surgery within 60 days.
Who is your doctor? I am thinking about getting surgry.
your lucky 1 out of 3 will be parolised
The spinal cord ends higher in the spine. Lumbar surgery even if mistakes are made will not cause paralysis.
I wonder how she never noticed it before ? It seems like you could notice if your spine was curved or someone else would have seen it when they were at the pool or something.
I didn't notice either until I did an X-ray of my lungs
@a.g.4238 now that u know can u feel it in your spine? Like can u tell ur spine is curved some?

What are other alternatives. I know physical therapy,but it doesn't totally take the pain away
Why did you become disabled?

How are you now? I’m schedule for a 14 level fusion.
