I developed severe scoliosis starting about three years after TM, when I
started a growth spurt at age 8. It was finally arrested by full spinal
fusion at age 13, but my curves are still pretty bad. I also have a pretty
pronounced lordosis. Most of my current doctors think the full fusion was a
bit extreme, but it was common at the time (1977). Let me know if you have
other questions....
