My son was just officially diagnosed with Kyphosis. While there are several possible fixes, due to his age (15.5) the most likley "slam dunk" is to undergo surgery to straighten out his back. This would relieve the pain he has and fix it cosmetically going forward.
For obvious reasons, we're leery in pulling the trigger and we've been talking to doctors, reading up online etc etc. He's a VERY active kid with (what was) a promising baseball career (not pro, but college of some level).
I guess I just wanted to see if anyone has had the surgery, or know anyone that has and how it all went down. Recovery time. Pain. Rehab etc etc. Trying to ingest as much info as possible before we decide.
Thanks in advance.
