Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'm having more and more questions as pre-surg workup approaches... Original curve correction- I'm wondering if/how much scoliosis curve correction you got from the revision surgery. Arms overhead (after recovery)- I'm wondering if/how farther you are able to raise your arms straight overhead since revision. In the last few years I've noticed I can't reach " to the sky " , but more toward a nearby mountain top... My joints are looser than the average person, and I used to be able to stretch them just past vertical. I can definitely feel my " mountain top " reach affects the area where my rod is broken, in the T4-T5 region. I'm pretty sure this will be corrected, but just wondering about your experiences. Neck/shoulders fatigue- I have constant neck/shoulder area fatigue and pain. Do you have experience with this... probably from trying to look forward when my body wants me to look down? I'll be asking Dr. T all these questions on Jan 14, but just wondering if I'm odd or in the un-odd ball park! Thanks all. Jeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
