I have scoliosis, but I've never bothered going to the doctor for it. They diagnosed me with it in school a couple times. It's only slight scoliosis because I'm so tall and I have horrible posture. Do you have to wear a brace or anything? My friend had to.

My friend was diagnosed with scoliosis when we were in junior high. She had to wear a back brace for about 2 years and she's fine now.

Do you have to wear a brace or anything? My friend had to.I'm not sure if I'll have to wear a brace yet or not... or maybe even have surgery. *shrugs* The orthopedist told me it was a pretty big curve, so I'm going to be referred to ANOTHER orthopedist who specifically works with children. :rolleyes: Does your back bother you at all? Pains, stuff like that?

I get REALLY bad back and neck pains... so yeah, it might need some major fixing. :(

Uh-huhh, I always have back pains and such. I probably should have gone to the doctor in fifth grade when I was originally diagnosed to get it checked out. I hope you get everything straightened out (no pun intended).

My brother has scoliosis. He's had it for a whiiile but the doctors didn't diagnose him until a few months ago. He had to wear a back brace for a few weeks then they realized, it wasn't going to help. He has to have back surgery in the spring.

I've had it since seventh grade. It was just mild when I first got it, but I don't know if it's worsened. Sometimes it feels like it has. Really, really sucks. I'm always feeling like I need a back massage. :(

I feel for you.........

My physician told me I have slight scoliosis. I have curvature of my neck and sometimes it could be painful.

I hope everything goes well for you.
