I am a 16 year old male and I Have to go through surgery in March. I am involved in athletics at my school and I am very skeptic about the surgery. My curvetry is 53 and 30. I need stories about the surgery and gow you recovered please help. Every story I have had is about how painful it was. Im trying to be positive I know there will be pain.

I had and my operation on the 14th of September of this year and had my spine straightned and had metal rod put in my spine the first two weeks was a nightmare as I deveolped an infection which made my pain worse so if I didn't have an iinfection then my pain would have been more under control but it is very common to get an infection after an operation now I am on my 3rd week and am feeling a lot better than last week but its worth it because my curve was 54 degress and now my back flat.
