Living with Scoliosis

I've had Scoliosis since I was 11/12 years old. At 14 years old I had to have Spinal Fusion Surgery done because my curves were 50°+. My spine looked like a S. My shoulders and hips were starting to get uneven on each side. My curves were starting to push on my internal organs. I'm now currently (October 5, 2025) 32 years old and still live in pain. I take over the counter pain medicine and prescription pain medicine (Tramadol). I am getting a medical marijuanas card so hopefully that helps. I have Spinal Stenosis and also Arthritis in my lower back. I have a spot at the top of my back that hurts really bad most of the time. I think it's a pinched nerve. It's close to my Spinal Fusion area so I've only been able to use Tramadol for some relief. It's close to my Spinal Fusion that I don't know if anything else can be done there. I've asked for RFA (radiofrequency ablation) and was told no because of close to my Spinal Fusion. I can only get RFA (radiofrequency ablation) on my lower back. My Mom had bad curves with Scoliosis but didn't get surgery because back then it was different (probably different rods and ways of being done/rougher more pain/not as much better results/less degrees in spine curve). My Grandma on my Mom's side had MS (multiple sclerosis). Back problems alot on my mom's side of the family, dad's side of the family I'm not sure. Spinal Fusion Warrior- Living with Scoliosis
