It wasn't until coming to this forum that I have realized how much more proactive I could have been. I just took the doctor's word for everything. She was referred to a general ortho and NOT a scoliosis specialist. He recommended doing NOTHING and she was only 12. I have no idea how bad it is now, but I can see it when I look at her back and she has back pain. Her curve appears to be very similar to mine with the exception that her primary curve seems to be a lower right thoracic and the compensatory curve seems to be the upper left thoracic as it appears much smaller. Her shoulders also appear even and the last time she let me look, she had no significant rotation that I could detect on the Adam's Forward Bending test.
