Scollosis in Systemic sclerosis.

[Lo1234]

Hello everyone I hope you all are fine. I have a some questions about something related with this disease. Actually I have scollosis and my curvature is twisted 65 degree and doctor has recommended me for surgery but I don't know surgery will be good choice or not for me cause have been diagnosed with systemic sclerosis. So, I want to ask Is there any role of systemic sclerosis in developing scollosis? Or Anyone else who has been diagnosed with systemic sclerosis have developed scollosis?

I've had scoliosis and kyphosis since a child and then diagnosed with systemic sclerosis 9 years ago.

What did you do for scollosis Did you have your surgery for scollosis?

My parents decided not too go for surgery and rods which was the right decision as it's never really given me any bother fortunately. My posture is not good at 74.
