I am white 46 year old female. When born ,both my parents noticed one of my legs seemed longer. Around the age of 12, my mom noticed my shoulders seemed "off". Eventually, they took me to a chriropractor who found I had a very serious backwards S for a spine. Years later after bearing 3 children, I noticed some back pain. In 2002 , unfortunately, I was referred to an orthpedic surgeon. If you read on, I will explain the "unfortunately" comment. Looonngg story short, I did allow him to open me from the (back) the neck down to the sacrum, fusing my spine with herrington rods. HORRIBLE MISTAKE.
