What are the worst/funniest things that have happened to you because of scoli?

[Karen Ocker]

I remember dancing with a date and he called my hump a "handle"--yes it was that large.

Clothing was always frustrating. Forget about belts, skirts and knits which looked ridiculous.

Karen,

I hope you smacked him for that comment!

Oh yes, trying to find clothes that don't cling to your "hump"! I try so hard to hide my back. So of course, no wearing stretchy tops or dresses. And thank goodness when tops came out recently with the hood attached! That was my dream come true! I have so many tops with the hoody attached, as well as wearing hooded sweatshirts, but you can't wear those here in California in warm weather! And then there's the pant leg problem when my left leg is always a bit longer. I look at all those women out there who can wear anything they want, and I feel that I have to "hide" in my clothes. And wearing a swimsuit? What does anyone out there do in that case? I can't wear swimsuits that have just the simple shoulder straps because one side slips off, so I have to buy a suit that criss-crosses over the back. And then I have to hide in a baggy t-shirt until I'm just ready to get in the pool so no one can see my back. Uggggggh.

When I was younger I would wear a bikini and I had long straight hair to my waist to hid my back. Now, you couldn't pay me enough to put on a bathing suit.
