[QUOTE=JenniferG;140861]Hi Irina,
I am not sure of your age, but my curve didn't progress much either, until my 50s. I went from ignoring it to noticing it, to knowing I had to do something to stop it, over 7 years. The reason I'm wondering about your age is, for me, the further into my 50s I got, the faster my curve progressed. You may find the same thing as you get older. I'm assuming you're in your 40s.

Jennifer,
I am 44. My curve was stable during my 20-30s (or it seemed to me that way), but it started getting significantly worse since I hit 40s. It's a slow and steady progression that I am noticing more and more. I don't know what my curve was when I was 30, but visually I was not nearly as deformed back then as I am now. I am probably a classic example of a 1-2 degree a year progression...
I am leaning towards having this surgery rather sooner than later because I don't think I will be able to avoid this. I hope I’d have a clearer picture after I get several other medical opinions.
