Kifosis Posted: 10-17-07 22:46pm


Hello I am a 24 year old male with kifosis. I was diagnosed at 14yrs old, I had the corrective brace but was young and stupid and did not use it. So now, 10yrs later my back is getting really crooked and I am starting to experience pain. I also have a hump that seems to be getting worse. My question is what kind of surgery or other options are available to correct this? The pain and my appearance are both starting to worry me. Thanks Ryan

Please seek the advice of a professional medical doctor. I would highly recommend that you see a neurologist or doctor who specilizes in back problems. Remember I said doctor as in MD.
