My name is Irina. I am from Russia. I have a S-shaped scoliosis of 3 degrees (50 degrees in chest and lumbar departments accordingly). I am 26 years old. Doctors have found out a scoliosis in me at 6 years old. Then the curvature has developed during body height. When I was 14 years (1992ã.), doctors have refused to do me operation. In Russia at that time doctors did operations in unusual cases. All this time I have constantly been swimming , doing massage, special gymnastics, but the curvature have not improved.
I understand, that it is very difficult operation. So I want to ask you some questions:
On how many degrees could doctors straighten a backbone at my age?
Could they leave the some backbonds free so that I could bend in some parts of my back?
What is the cost of such operation in America? Where could I do such operations?
What interest of risk of a failure of operation? Do they give any guarantee?
Did ahybody do such operation at my age? What are the results?
How much time after operation I will not be able to work?
Will I be able a while after operation conduct an active way of life: to run, jump, skate, swim, go in for sports?
Thanks.
