How much height did you grow after fusion?

How much height did you grow after fusion?

I was told that I could grow up to 2-4 inches because of my severe curves (100° thoracic and 80° lumbar) and I ended up growing 3 inches and 3 quarters with a curvature of below 10° now

Thinking about yall

Thinking about all my long spinal fusion friends. It makes me feel SO much better to see others who experience the same issues and that I’m actually NOT crazy and dramatic! (Imagine that)

Please enjoy my gorgeous screws 🎉🎉

How painful is spinal fusion?

I’m supposed to have my surgery in August, and i’m really scared cause all i’ve been hearing is the excruciating pain some people have received after the surgery😢

I haven’t really felt any pain since I was diagnosed with scoliosis (4-5 years ago) and the last time I got an x-ray, my doctor said I have a 50 deg curve 💔
