Walk for exercise: If you have already had surgery for your scoliosis then you should discuss recovery with your surgeon. Generally, walking is the best exercise immediately after surgery progressing to pt and strengthening. Pain should subside over 3-4 weeks, possibly longer. Wean off your pain meds as soon as you can comfortably. Avoid nsaid's the first 6-12 weeks post-op.
