Scoliosis question

I'm a mom of two, almost 4 years and 5 months. I've been dealing with my scoliosis since middle school, but lately I've been in so much pain. It's to the point that I can't sit because its messing with my hips and tailbone. My only chance at any relief would be to have major back surgery and be on bed rest for up to a year. I'm just wondering if there is any other moms that have gone through the surgery and how the recoup was or if they found something else that helped.
