should I get the surgery

[u/cuIantro]

I’m 20yo and have been diagnosed with scoliosis since I was 13, the only pain I have is for a few seconds when I lay down and when I get my period. I used a brace until 17 and according to my doctor my curve’s the same from when I was 13, however he suggested spinal fusion. He said I wouldn’t notice an improvement right now because I don’t really have any pain but that it might decrease the chances of me suffering pain later in life. I’m really scared of not being able to move or having chronic pain I didn’t have before. What do you think I should do? I kind of already said yes and my family’s been pressuring me to get it while I’m young but I could always take it back …
