Well Kara, I hope it never gets bad enough such that your father will need surgery or even any treatment.
Good that they found it though.

Kara,
I'm so sorry to hear that your dad has scoliosis, too. On a positive note, he's probably had it for a very long time and they just never noticed it. That is if it's not arthritis (degenerative) related. Now you know where yours came from; and people try to claim it's not inherited. I'm sure your dad will be just fine and continue on as he always has. Let us know more when you find out and please, BOTH of you stay well!
Hugs,

Be happy!

That can make a small scoliosis progress. Some people get scoliosis strictly from degeneration. I hope he's okay and his curve/s stay small and he's not in pain. I wish him all the best. He has our support, too.Originally Posted by kennedy

Kara,
I'm so sorry to hear that your dad is always in pain. I can empathize with him there.
You can let him know that your scoliosis friends wish him well.
