What should i do about my scoliosis at 25 ?

Asked by kutelilkat (279points) August 24th, 2009

(I know I should ask an expert but I feel discouraged and want some immediate advice)
(any suggestions on where to go? I’m in los angeles.)

I’m now 25 years old. I have an S curve. I’ve never had any treatment. I had some horrible Dr.s that never really helped me with my scoliosis and just said I was fine. Most of the curve happened in my teens. the curve was about 30 when I was 18. My Dr said It was probably done curving and for me to just do some exercises he showed me in his office really quick ! :(

Well, now I’m 25 and the curve is 35 upper back and like 15 lower. I don’t really feel pain ever but I’m scared I’m going to curve more and then very badly when I get older (like menopause and later?!)

I hate how my left shoulder blade sticks way out, it looks like I have a hump back already!
What should I do? Could a brace do anything at this point? I feel like the curve is getting worse but Dr. doesn’t believe me.
