The numbers mean the curves in my back. I have just gome to a sports doctor who works on backs but I have to go to rehab because I have copd and have had a stroke and cancer so I am out of condition. But he thinks he can help me. But he said it will be a long road to go. Can anyone tell me anything or where I can find information on open back surgery from neck to pelvic bone and what they do?

Hi ...I have mild scoliosis, I do not know what u mean by the degrees...I also have DDD and stinosis.....whether surgery will be right for u only a surgeron can say for sure.

What symptoms do u have and what % of getting better do they give u?

FInding a specialist in spines and scoliosis is the first thing u will need to do.
