Yes, it is painful every day...some days better than others as I'm sure you know. I'll have to search for Suzie and ask how she's doing now.
I expressed how important it is to me to retain as much hip/pelvic movement as possible. For one reason, I practice yoga and plan to attend Yoga Teacher Training in the near future. My wish and goal is to help others with back pain and scoliosis since I have been through it myself.
