What does one experience getting scoliosis surgery on 40 degrees?

Pain and stiffness: This is a major spine surgery esp at your age bracing, 3-6 months recovery good luck you can be taller and straighter with head centered over pelvis when you stand.

It varies: It varies in part on the nature of the curve and the type of surgery being done. Traditional scoliosis surgeries done for structural purposes alone are not traditionally done unless curves are over 45-50 degrees because curves less than that are not thought to progress or cause an increased risk of problems. Thank you for your question.
