Kyphosis

Before surgery, my spine was bent forward at a 100 degree angle! I was in pain, bent over all the time and couldn't raise my arms much or lie comfortably on my back. After surgery, I'm so happy to have a straight back and am gaining more range of movement. It feels great to be Back in the Game!
