A member asked:

My sister made a scolosis surgery and the doctor made the surgery 3 times and he removed the nails and now she cant move & lost her sensitivity?

Scoliosis: Sorry to hear that. Scoliosis surgery may not not help every patient and there is risk of neurologic injury as well. It is best to discuss it with the surgeon who performed the surgery or seek treatment from another surgeon.
