Hi all, newbie here.

I have arthritis in my lower back, aggravated by scoliosis and cerebral palsy. I have finally got an appointment to see a surgeon (in July) but I am in so much pain that it hurts to walk in even short distances. I get tingling in my feet and hands and at times it is so painful I could scream!

Does anyone have any insight to a similar issue related to lower back pain? If so, was surgery an option and if it was, what was the surgery:( and recovery time?
