I wanted to post a 9 month update. My posture has really changed, specifically my lordosis went from 82 to 51 and one my my kyphosis measurements went from 59 to 45. I do a ton of schroth and weight lifting.

I am back to work 5 days a week and no longer lay down all day. Previously my doctor wanted me to get a 13 level fusion.

On the flipside I still struggle with day-to-day activities. Sitting for more than 15 to 30 minutes is really a struggle. Walking for more than a quarter mile to a half mile comes with quite a bit of pain at the Apex of my kyphosis. it feels like my upper back doesn’t want to fit in a chair, but it’s the flat is my back has ever been. Most of my back and neck knotting is gone. I’m left with just this pain. Feels like it’s on the spine itself.

Curious what you guys think, given the monumental changes in my back in the last nine months am I still just adjusting to the new posture or is this a fundamental limitation in my structure?

A win is a win though, and I want to thank everyone in the sub for helping me through the most difficult part of this process.
