Hi Hurdle. Nice to see you posting.
At least one surgeon has come out against the the claim that AIS in kids is necessarily painless. I think many large curves might be painful but people who don't know they have scoliosis may not register it so much.
Both my girls got into the high 50s but only the highly rotated one had any pain.
I suspect most smaller curves are not associated with any pain. Otherwise it is hard to explain all the cases of kids first diagnosed with large curves.
