Child Has Scoliosis. No Breathing Difficulty. Should She Have VSPR Rods Put In Back?
I'm confused about a medical question. My six year old has scoliosis her back is like an s, I was told to have a VSPR two rods put in her back to straighten her pelvis and to help straighten her back in time. I don't know if I should wait till she is older. She doesn't have any breathing difficulty right know, but the pulmonary doctor says if its not causing her difficulty right now to wait. But the orthopedic doctor says we should have the surgery? What do I do.
