Hi there,
I checked out your x-ray and I don't see any curve on it anywhere that approaches 40 degrees. I would agree that your scoliosis is very mild (guessing considerably under 20 degrees at most in the upper spine). Certainly nothing close to needing any surgery. That's great news!
If you are in pain PT would be the first thing to try. It can be extremely helpful.
Good luck!
