So with all that is going on with me, I'll try to give a readers digest version. LSF done in 2014 because of S-curve scoliosis. Right S.I Joint fusion done in Dec 2025. TLKR done in Sept 2025 and TRKR done in March 2026.

Now that all parts of me that was once curved are now straight (including legs) I feel as if I am learning to walk again. My long spinal fusion was done in 2014 but my legs were always bow but seemed to get worst after my spine was fused. One leg was also shorter than the other which also added to the legs getting more bowed. I had the left knee done first and although my gait changed some then, I was ok. After this surgery, I had right S.I. joint fused because a gait change from the spinal fusion cause a noticble spacebetween my iliac and sacral joints. After that surgery, I was still doing ok...but lawd knows, after having my right knee replaced - it seems as if everything - all my progress - has headed south. My gait has totally changed and I feel like someone jammed my legs into my torso. My lower back and trapezius muscles are extremely stiff and I am now re-learning how to walk. I didn't expect this at all especially walking to become a physical challenge. So I am asking if anyone else has experienced this? Especially thise who have had all these surgeries done. Please share your story.
