Hello everyone.
I'm just about to turn 48. I had spinal fusion/Harrington Rod surgery nearly 33 years ago. I have lived with scoliosis since then in silence and never met anyone with scoliosis (at least
as far as I know). By the time I was in my early 40s I had just about come to terms with the whole body image thing (just in time to start again with the middle aged man aging body thing).
Although I don't have what I would call pain - I am nearly always uncomfortable. I often have numbness in one foot and sometimes one hand and lower back strain. Reading over this site in the last couple of days I am now aware that I probably have flat back syndrome. Is there anyone out there my age or older who may be able to shed light on what to expect? Anyone with hints on a good fitness regime that could help? I have spent the last 15 years walking on average 1 - 2 miles a day, and I used to do Yoga. I am reasonably fit. I may be worrying for no good reason but in isolation its hard not to. Thanks for reading this far.
