That's strange, my curves are 37 degrees and my breathing is fine (when I am not having a panic attack :( )

Yeah I hear people who have surgery have curves over 40 degrees. And I understand why you want to get it sorted.

I go to Ashford in Kent, the William Harvey Hospital.

My curves are almost 40 degrees (37 to be exact) and surgery will not be an option unless the curve was larger and the curves increased rather quickly.

I don't think my curves are that noticable (both 37 degrees) so I do not worry about hiding them. I wear what I feel comfortable and warm in (especially now it is winter).

Hiya all

My background more or less is explained in my signature but I'll be more detailed in this thread.

When I was 11 I started getting back pain in my Lumbar region, this started in October...

Your curve looks very little. It looks around 10 - 20 degrees to me. Have you been diagnosed because if not then go and see a doctor to have some x-rays done.

I can see a slight curve in the...

I'm the same as everyone else, my lower curve is the main curve and the top curve is compensating, which is why my hips are uneven and so are my ribs.

The Speciallist will just examine you, ask you to have a Scolio Gram (that's what mine does anyway) and will let you know on what he is going to do. I am currently seeing a Speciallist and he is...

I am attending my first Physio class on Friday so I will tell you how it goes. My doctor advised physio for me as I have alot of pain (even know :( )

I have these trousers that go quite low and a short-ish top and because my hips are uneven you see flesh on one side but not the other, but I don't care ^_^ because I love my clothes. I'm the same...

I have panic attacks, you can email me if you want, about it.

Thanks for that information :)

I can not sit up straight without it hurting after a while. It's annoying because you were taught at school to sit up straight to have a nice posture, now I have to sloundge to stop it from hurting....

Are these Racerbra sold in the UK? I may look into them and probably buy some.

In some cases Scoliosis has been known to pass down in generations, my doctor thinks that mine was from my Mum's cousin who had Sherman's Disease which is a form of scoliosis. He also said that it...

Hiya there.

Welcome to the site. So what do you suffer from?

Hiya Deb

Thanks for that advice. If the pain progresses into the summer holidays then I will consider going in again and ask to b refered to a physio. I did get that oppotunity last time but...

I really wish that I could have a brace but my doctors and specialist said that I don't need one. That sucks.

I've always wanted to run in Race For Life for years, my Nan died of cancer and I almost had breast cancer at one point (turned out that my breast lump was not cancerous) and it means alot to me. ...

Hiya, I have sever back pain and at night I do struggle to sleep. Beacuse of my curve I can only sleep on my right hand side, not on my left as it is uncomfortable.
