I'm 20 years old and was wanting to get surgery, but have been too scared. Do you think that i'm still kind of young to get surgery? Since, you commented "If you ever have to get surgery, do it as soon as you can, before you get older."

@alejandro1991ify If you feel like surgery will help you and make you feel better (I never have pain in my back now), than I would suggest that you get it done. You are still young, but I think you should still get it done before you get much older so your body will heal more easily and the entire experience will be much more enjoyable.

I am having this surgery too, and I was wondering what it felt like to get up and walk after surgery?

[Fluidshine]

@tylernol1997 You basically just feel extremely stiff and can only walk super slow. Of course you'll be on pain meds so you won't feel much of the pain. I felt really stiff and had to take short, small breaths because it kind of hurt to breath deep. But it gets better quickly the more you start to walk and move around.

I had surgery EXCATLY one year ago today. im doing great but i have muscle spasms alot and they suck. but I have also have more pain in my back because one month and one day after my surgery i fell down the 18 steps and hit my head on the wall so i had to go to the E.R. ever since my surgery i have lost count on how many times i have fallen down the steps. just the other day i was walking down the driveway and i fell on ice. But im glad you're doing great. (:

@Fluidshine Thanks man your video has inspired me to go and get surgery. Just watching you before and after surgery has given me a positive look on surgery. I'm not so scared to get it done.

@reaperoftheFUNK Hi reaperoftheFUNK. I believe that my curve was around 53 or so and my doctor suggested that I not use a brace because he told us that it was not proven to be effective at all, and my curve was already so bad. If you ever have to get surgery, do it as soon as you can, before you get older. It is much easier to get the surgery when you are younger and can heal faster. It makes the entire experience much better, at least that's what I've been told and I believe it's true.

Hey, I have a 40 degree curve and I'm using a Brace. Will I ever need surgery? Bcuz this is some very serious stuff, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to do this. Please answer my question. Thanks ;)
