I know you have a different story than the usual scoliosis case but whatever doctor told you that you couldn't get surgery while you were still growing was a jerk. They so spinal fusions for pediatrics all the time and they use special rods that expand with growth of the person. I have scoliosis and had a 75 degree curve up top and a 55 degree one at the lower curve. You definitely need some second opinions! Either way, good luck to you and kudos for the AMA!
