Scoliosis/Kyphosis
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew if somebody like myself, that has lived with kyphosis for all their life could have treatment for corrective surgery now that in I'm in my late 40's? If so, where should I ask my GP to be referred. I live in Surrey.

All authorities are different and I was in my late 50's. The consultant said I'll run you through the options, the first one he said was operation. Then when he finished he said I wouldnt do an op on your back. Why? {I didnt want one to be honest} He started laughing and said I wouldneed 2 beds in ITU aferwards. I said 2 beds? He said yes, one for you and one for the surgeopn after he had finished {he was laughing} He said it was a very successful op on kids in their teens but after that it wasnt very successful. Thats only my experience Everyone could be diffferent

monitored over the years, but I can see in photos and the increased pain tells me that it has worsened. I, obviously would want to see the top person in this field, so your advice is very welcome. I have a suspicion that perhaps the Syringomyelia may be a cause for concern for the orthopods, as that would come under neurologist!? Any thoughts? Thank you for you previous advice, v much appreciated. j

I am currently 18 an be suffering with shermans kyphosis since 12 i have been monitored and xrayed every 6 months my curve went from 50 to 85, at this point it was decided that surgery was the best move for me. I am now 6 weeks post opp an have never felt better.
I would simply see your gp get refered to a specialst of the spine and consider the spinal fusion surgery
