I have seen many, many doctors for my scoliosis over the years. They did everything but surgery to help the spinal curvature. Now the doctors tell me that there is nothing they can do at all and there are more new problems than before. In '76 I had corrective surgery in Indianapolis when I was younger. They put a Harrington rod in my back, but now it is broken and causing problems, but they won't take it out. I have a torn rotator cuff now and too many neuropathies. Has anyone had similar experiences? Have you had any success in surgeries or treatments? My left ribs are in pain now every evening and I'm very, very tired.
