A member asked:
Why does my back feel stiff two months after a scoliosis surgery ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Scoliosis : Because you had a long segment fusion and you also could also have muscle spasm. See if your surgeon will allow you to go to physical therapy.

Fusion: Scoliosis surgery involves straightening out your spine and then fusing it in a straighter position. By definition, this stiffens your back. Thank you for the question.
