Hi my name is Sherry l am 59yrs old and was recently diagnosed with reversal of the lord is.dextroscoliosis in the mid upper thoracic spine, stenosis and osteophyte formation near my spinal cord. My Dr suggests a prosthesis because of this. What are your thoughts. This is most evident at T7-  T11
Dear Sherry as the problem is on more than one thoracic vertebra surgery won't be helpful. I would recommend you to undertake two spinal magnetic resonance between one year to see the changes. In the meantime you should hold a thoracic fortress to protect you from injury. You have to be sure if there is any spinal stenosis because that is the only problem which need surgery. Any other problem is treated conservatory, with oral medication. Wish you all the best
