How Can Severe Lordosis Be Treated?
When I was 15 I had back surgery for kyphosis. I was fused from T1 to T12 a year after surgery I had a hardware removal. My curvature is returning and now I have developed pretty severe lordosis. Along with the lordosis I seem to have some GI issues that could be related because the onset was with the lordosis. I returned to my surgeon to be seen and he said there was nothing he could do. I completed 12 weeks of PT with no improvement. Should I get a 2nd opinion?

Hello and welcome to `Ask A Doctor` service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
* As per my surgical experience, it is the underlying nerve compression
due to lordosis which is giving agony of the pain.
* In case, no response from physiotherapy, I recommend
- Laser therapy to targeted nerve roots through CT guidance.
- Interventional pain management expert opinion after MRI evaluation
of the condition.
Hope this information will help you.
Take care.
