Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Sorry for the late response Tom, but n, mprimeau@... , from the Ontario Scoliosis Association chapter might be able to help you, as well. She has given me a lot of support in starting the British Columbia chapter and together gaining Canadian information, even though the medical information is universal. Llweyn in BC SI Joint Fusion Hi I have scoliosis and am fused from L1 to T10. I have been having SI joint pain for almost a year on my right side. I finally found a doctor in Toronto that is going to fuse my SI joint. I am going to have my left side done eventually but the right side is worse. Has anyone else had an SI joint fusion and have scoliois? Thanks!! Tom - Toronto Age 37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I haven't but have read a great deal about it in the Chicago papers. Several hospitals are using minimally invasive techniques on a whole host of back problems with great success and very quick recovery times. I'd go for it!!!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Can you tell us more about the " new " procedure? Is it good for all joints or just SI? Cheryl M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
