    I can’t thank you enough for all of your help. In all likelihood, if surgery becomes our option, I would like to bring her to see you. We are in Texas, and like I said, she is only 11. Do you treat children that young, and how practical would it be for her to have surgery that far home?

    Thank you again so much!

    Thanks. I’m learning quite a bit. When its your 11 year old daughter you don’t want to leave any stone unturned.

    One last question, assuming a successful fusion surgery, chances of her being able to go back to competitive skating? Hyperextention, load-bearing, repetitive sport. She is an elite athlete; just trying to help her be realistic about her future.

    Thanks again.

    Thanks so much. By SBO, I was referencing Spina bifida occulta.
    If the injections( cortisone) do provide relief, do you ever do surgery at that point to fuse the vertebrae?

    Thanks again,
    Sharon

    Thank you so much for your reply. I feel as if we have been chasing our tails for over a year; and all she wants to do is train for what she loves.

    Would facet disease show up on any of the imaging she has had? Her first diagnosis actually was spondy, but later, I was told by two drs that it was an incorrect diagnosis… SO FRUSTRATING.

    Thanks again,
    Sharon
