Hi fellow socli's. I've been lurking for oh, 10 years while I did altenative methods for my scoliosis. It was 30 thoracic, 40 lumbar in my early 20's I'm now 29. I was told it wouldn't get worse since I was an adult. well it hasn't bothered me at all, until about 3 months ago, my low back starting hurting. I took it easy working out, and then just about a month a go, the pain got so bad I was sent for an MRI I have 3 bulding discs L2-S1. Nerve pain, can't cough, sit, sneeze without crying. And my curves have worsened to 40T 48L. Most upsetting is i lost 2.5 inches in about 6 years. I know my curves aren't "technically" surgical degrees, but I made an appt to see one anyway.
Questions:
1.I know that its not that bad yet, but, is there such a thing as "do it now, while you're young, strong, and still have a flexible spine? Or wait to be in more pain?
2. I want kids and I know sometimes it gets worse with pregnancy as well. and that scares me! Did this happen to you?
3. Can the rotation and curvature be what is causing the bulge?
4. I was told that my Thoracic is structural and my lumbar is compensatory, and that I can bend (i did those bending xrays) to basically a "straight" spine. hot yoga anyway. I know that its up to the surgeon but do leave the "compensatory curve" not fused on adults too?
Thanks in advance!
