@1989NikeMcfly thanks so much!!! I have scholiosis. Noticed at age 10 and did a Harrington Rod surgery to correct it. Had a 2nd surgery 3 years ago and now this one should hopefully be it lol.

@sublimechick571 Hey man what up, Well I kinda wanted to ask you, How you mess up your back? Hope your surgery goes well.

I am 27 years old and having my 3rd spinal surgery Nov 4th!! Next week!!! Im scared because the last one 3 years ago--the surgeon accidentally punctured my spinal sac when he was chiseling and I lost brain/spinal fluid--bacteria got in and up in my brain and I got Bacterial Menengitis!!!!! I almost died in the Hospital ..........................I hope it doesnt happen this time because he is doing a 3rd fusion and more extensive!!! If you had similiar please fill me in

@AbyssalHeim Thanks again for the advice. I really appreciate it.

@mholub I do not remember if that is the correct term for the doctors I'm talking about, I could be wrong of course. But be careful with the chiropractors, if he does not mention anything according to the sciatic nerve or the muscles surrounding that nerve in the lower back region, I wouldn't fully trust him. However I can also suggest you trying the operation, I hear they are pretty safe and stable now with very great results. If I do not get healthier soon, I'll take the operation myself :)

@AbyssalHeim Thanks for the response. I never heard of a "Physiologist." I'll have to look into that.
