Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hello, I'm a new member. I am 69 years old and live in Ann Arbor, MI This past January 2006 I had scoliosis surgery. The diagnosis was " scoliosis with stenosis T10-S1. " I had a 60 degree curve and the surgery was posterior. It included fusion from T10-S1 and a " laminectomy and foraminotomy L4-S1 " . The curve is significantly less and the forward bend has been reduced, but I am still not able to stand up straight even after 3 months of PT 3 times a week. I realize that this is a structural problem and believe I now have Flatback Syndrome. I would appreciate any thoughts, and ideas others may want to share. Thanks, Phyllis Ponvert Ann Arbor, MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
