I'm new here and just reading through some of the posts. I'm looking for some info from anyone who is mid 30's or on up in age. I'm turing 38 and have a 62 degree curve. I've never had treatment...besides chiropractic care when I was 18 at which time my curve was 50 degrees. My plan was to just let it ride out...I'm getting concerned now mostly w/the deformity. I have the one hip that sticks out and the usual one pant leg shorter, etc. but I've been pretty able to conceal it...I wear baggy type shirts and have found that while standing still I can bend one knee in (on the longer leg) and it actually makes you look straighter from behind. I make an effort to hold my shoulders back and stand tall when in public..I'm just wondering how much worse the deformity will get if I get to say a 70 - 80 degree curve as I get older...I seem to change about 1 degree per year so this is highly likely. If I knew I could still conceal it pretty reasonably w/clothing I wouldn't be worrying so much.
I don't want to have surgery... not even really considering it but have read that some people end up doing the surgery just for cosmetic purposes.
