.. After two rescheduling, one by the dr's office, and one by me, I finally saw a scolisis specilist. 4? months after the initial appt.. 
I have a 49 degree thoracolumbar and 31 lumbar (compensatory) curves. My thoracolubar only involves 4 vertabres, T10 -L1. It's just going to be watched for a while, but the dr did say that I'll need surgery at some point in my life -- Just don't know when.. This doesn't suprise me, I've always known that my T11 and T12 vertabres would cause probles -- They are more of a wedge than a rectangle.. which prob. is why the curve is short and sharp... The wedge shape of the two weren't caused by scoliosis, they rather caused scoliosis. It's common in people with neurofibromatosis type 1, which is a genetic neurological disorder.
Anyway, it's good to finally know the numbers -- no more wondering!.
