A member asked:
12yrs ago, i had a full spinal fusion with 15 hooks and 2 rods, for scoliosis, over the years my back pain seems to be getting worse. what can i do?

Back pain: First of all you should not be afraid to see a back surgeon to make sure there's not a problem with the hardware. What you likely need is a physical therapy program to straighten the paraspinal muscles, abdominal muscles, and improve your posture.
