 You say that you have mild scoliosis. They usually don't need to do the Surgery unless it is severe. When I had it my curve of my spine was 89%. They probably want you to have therapy to help streghten your back. Do you know what your percentage is.

 If they are saying it is just a mild case then I really don't think you ever have to worry about having the rod put in.

 I was 13years old when I had the surgery and I know that it was the best thing for me I know that I would not be living the way I am. Like I said they only do the surgery for severe cases. Have they even talked about a back brace. Many people have scoliosis but don't really have anything to worry about because the curve is so small.

 They have changed their back braces since I had to have one so it's not so bad now.
