I was just wondering, does anyone know how much curves are likely to progress over the years? I have heard 1 degree per year is common in adults, but I have also heard that however the curve has progressed in the past (after adolescent growth is complete) is usually how fast it will continue to grow. I am curious because if my curve gets worse at 1 degree per year, then in 10 years I would have a 65 degree curve. But, it has gone from 29 degrees to 55 degrees in less than 5 years, all after my growth was finished. If it gets worse at 5 degrees per year, in ten years I'll have a 100+ degree curve. Is that really possible? I'll only be 30 years old in 10 years! Could I at some end up so curved that I could be unable to walk? I am just curious as to what would happen (based on statistical likelihood) if I just ignored it (which I am not planning to do!)
