How many people have two operations on their back to correct Scoliosis?

See, I have Scoliosis.

I had my first op when I was 14, and now I’m having to have another now I’m 19.

I just want to know if any other people out ther have had to have two operations on their back to correct it. I’m not nervous about it at all. It’s just I’m apparently one in a very littl group who has to have another operation because I’ve got another curve on my lower back.

Not usually in this day and age … several years ago you would have likely needed to have more surgeries to correct the correction. It sounds like your issue wasn’t exactly resolved the first time around.
