Since I was a child I have suffered from scoliosis. Today i am 27 years old and don't even know if I can go to a doctor who will be able to help or not since I don't think much can be done. When I was younger my guardians never took me to a back doctor for this, they let me grow up the way I did with this and didn't do anything about it which has furiated me over the years since I became an adult.
I've always lived on a limited income. I may be just now in a few months start to finally save money, and next month going to go and get a card to help those who have limited income to pay for a doctor, but I'm wondering what can possibly be done. Once when I was younger around 21 I had gone to a chiropractic myself and spoken to him, He did something to my back that had straightened it with doing something with the muscles, and for a few days I actually walked normal. I was giving daily back excersises which I did, but then it fell back into it's old way of looking the same again.
When I was in school I was never thought of as looking differently. Everyone treated me as normal, and so I never much noticied I had a curve on my back. I wasn't one who was picked on in class, but when I grew up, I noticed myself and now have social anxiety when I'm not at work. I am very discuraged about my looks, never really had a decent relationship, and just feel as though all the time that people are staring at my back when I go out in public.
I'm not sure what to do, I've even looked up back braces, but I know that I should probably go to a doctor first before considering it. If there are any of you out there who can maybe give me a bit of advice please let me know.
Thanks,
