Website for Health-Related Forum (similar to MMM)
« on: June 14, 2019, 10:56:53 PM »
My mom has scoliosis. She's "found" laser spine surgery that's her magic bullet. Based on the info she sent me, it looks like a cash grab by the doctors doing the surgery.

Is there a forum similar to MMM that people can go to, create an account, and discuss things of this nature?

I'm sure there are direct searches that can be done as well, but the forum approach may be better for my mom who is not data driven at all.

Not a forum, but you can submit questions and comments at

I ran a search of their site for "scoliosis," results are here:

Healingwell.com has a chronic pain forum that is relatively active.  She may find some advice there.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
