Osteoporosis and scoliosis

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have both and want to know if anyone in the same boat as me has had round growths on their lower spine that are the size of cherry tomatoes. I am going to see a doctor in early October to supposedly have them removed and I am apprehensive about that. I have two of them at the moment.

    I would probably not touch them. I have degenerative disc disease plus osteoporosis and scoliosis and arthritis. I have seen an old scan/xray and it is not pretty so goodness knows what the state of my back is now. If I have what you describe which is likely as the lower discs have collapsed and were touching and that is a few years back.
