I am 33 years old and had scoliosis surgery when I was 12. I too have had the pain and numbness in my back and leg but mine occurred after a very difficult pregnancy when the anethesiologist tried to do an unsuccessful spinal tap and hit a nerve in my back. My son was in the hospital for 5 weeks so I suffered through the pain until he was home and I could focus on myself for a change. When doing tests to see what the problem was the orthopedic Dr. I saw said it was degenerative back problems but I never had any trouble until the spinal tap so I think it may have had a domino effect. I can certainly tell a lot of diiference as I get older and definately after 3 high risk pregnancy's in the amount of pain and stiffness in my back. I too would like to know if there is any type surgery that can be performed today that will help my back problems.
