I have a 17 degree S curve. Luckily it's stopped and not bad enough for surgery, hope it stays that way. It does give me pain at times though

[drjoseguevara]

@xHenri I would get under some type of care to prevent it from getting worse. A lot of time muscular imbalances cause the spine to curve. If you can catch those early and work on them you can prevent it from advancing

Hi Im 15 years old and just been diagosed with scoliosis, my curve is about 40 degrees and i may need surgery, because ive reached my growth spurt and a brace wont help, im scared because I dont know a lot about it and im scared if its fatal or can affect me when im older

[drjoseguevara]

@chaimaaJBgirl Hi, you should definitely research more into the surgical procedure for scoliosis. Your curve is very advanced and if not corrected, down the line you may suffer from various conditions so surgery is probably the best option to realign the spine at this point. Once that's done you should be ok to live normal but you will probably have some limited motion in certain directions.

HI i have a 14 degree curve in my spine and the base of my spine is constantly swollen. And my lower back causes me great pain whenever i push too hard with my exercises. It has gotten so bad i can no longer go running, and it also hurts when i am kicking in Tae Kwon Do. Can you give me any advice.

[drjoseguevara]

@bigboy789inches if you haven't already done so, go get checked out. Depending on your age, progression of the curve might be halted. Since scoliosis shifts your hips (usually one higher than the other), it may be difficult to run because you may have different leg lengths. I would recommend continuing the exercise as tolerated but definitely see a doctor about it. Maybe even take up swimming since it's a great exercise but easier on the joints.
