You are 12 years old and you are having Scoliosis surgery this summer you have a 40 degree curve and you were wondering if surgery was really needed?

It ABSOLUTELY is needed. If you try to using a brace and thinking that will fix it, it won't. I've used a brace for a few years and it was a waste a time and my Scoliosis got worse. But don't think that this one surgery will completely fix your Scoliosis because it won't. It will just try to make it better. I'm 16 years old and have had 5 surgeries and my spine is still not 100% straightened. I don't suggest physiotherapy either, i tried it and it didn't help one bit, but everyone is different, so you never know. After my surgeries, I've gone to see a Chiropracter for an adjustment and they really help to releave pain that your having !
new person: i feel your pain because i have a 50degree curve and im having surgey this summer also and my doctors scary he looks like a mix between george clooney and mel Gibson plus he british. im thinkin "CREEP!" but im not going to have u listen to my problems and im only 12! i have a idiopathic scoliosis and its curved to the left and im going to phisio to but i was in a brace, didnt do nothin it actually got worse too so im like scared out of my mind! they made me take a MRI for like 45 min and im really claustrophobic too so i hope you never have to go threw that pain like i did.

What will happen if you don't do scoliosis surgery?
It really depends on the individual case. I have severe scoliosis and I was told I could decide. If I didn't have surgery it was possible I would have significant pain in the future. Apparently Usane Bolt has scoliosis so that is proof you can live a normal healthy life. After thinking for quite a while I decided to opt for the surgery. I will be having it next summer.

How Scoliosis affects the body?
With my Scoliosis, I had a hunchback for a while, but having surgery fixed it a bit, but not completely. My back isn't completely straight and kind of have an indent. When doctors are moving things around in your back during surgery, things in the front sort of move, well that's what I've been told.. because one of my front ribs is kind of popping out more then it should... doesn't look so great.. I don't think i will ever wear a bikini in public ever. But not to scare you or anything.. it just depends on how back your Scoliosis is and what there doing during any surgerys you might have. I just havent been so lucky with Scoliosis not affecting my body.
How long before your body recovers from surgery for scoliosis?
It depends what type of scoliosis surgery you are having. Mine took four hours, and I had posterior spinal fusion with bone grafting from the hip. If you have anterior spinal fusion, it will most likely take longer, as the surgery is done by entering the front or side of your body. With posterior, they reach your spine by entering your back.
