You have questions that you might want to address to your surgeon regarding the pain etc. the surgeon is the only one who can tell you what he expects to accomplish with the surgery.
My granddaughter had severe scoliosis and kyphosis and had two days of surgery -- this was in her teens, today she has no pain and is an active lady. Only problem she had is that she could not be flight crew in the Air Force.
Best of luck to you!
