I've had scoliosis since I was !3, but never received follow up till I was 43(last year). I never knew my once 13 degree curvature could develop into a 65 degree curvature probably due to having 6 babies. I am told my curvature is "balanced" and any pain I have in my back is due to arthritic changes in my spine. I have lost weight and feel pretty good. How can dressing up be made to look "normal" when so many clothes today are tight fitting?
It does discourage me that I am self conscious about my back.
I don't want to scare people or have them think me a freak.
I think of myself as a crooked person. That is bad I know, but it will never get better. Yes, there are much worse things than this. I suppose I am venting. It amazes me how much I notice straight backs (and envy them). People take so much for granted. Well, I've rambled enough. I mention clothes as this is always an issue for me, and I saw nothing like that in the postings that I saw
