I agree with this. I had the same procedure done 6 years ago and haven't experienced pain since the original recovery. I would consult with other doctors/surgeons if you are experiencing continuous pain. I do not know if this is relevant, but my surgeon purposefully left my scoliosis at 45 degrees because he and the operating team saw that anymore correction would affect the nerves in my spine.
EDIT: After reading more of this thread I see that 45 degrees still seems pretty high. Others had surgeries at that point. I had mine when my spine was at 82 degrees.
