um im katie i had a spine surgery for scoliosis july of 2008. my doctor told me i might be having lung adhesions so they are real but unheard of without surgery i think, i Want and Oxygen Mask, i want one and need one, i get like attacks hurting both my lungs, I'm 13 and my scoliosis degree was 72 and i weigh 115 pounds, and i am normal and all, i had anterior and posterior, they put rods in screws on my spine and deflated my lung and I'm tired of everyone telling me its nothing because whenever i can't barley breathe i hesitate to call 911, and I've had them for a few months and my doctor doesn't do anything.
