Scoliosis affects all ages. Unlike the naturally occurring curves in the spine, scoliosis causes the spine to curve abnormally to the left or right.

WENT OUT WITH SCOLIOSIS A FEW YEARS AGO. MY ONLY METHOD OF COPING WAS TO SIT DOWN DOING TASKS. I ALSO FADED AWAY FROM GOING TOO FAR.
WENT TO THE SUPERMARKET AND WAS ON MY FEET AN HOUR. THE PAIN GAVE ME TEARS IN MY EYES. I RESTED AND WENT BACK OUT, DETERMINED TO FIGHT THIS.
THIS IS THE 3RD DAY AND IT IS ONLY TODAY I CAN STAND UP STRAIGHT.THIS IS SO DISCOURAGING, AS YOU ALL KNOW. I WONDER IF PAIN RELEIF WOULD GIVE ME MY LIFE BACK. I WOULD EVEN LIKE TO GO BACK TO WORK TO SAVE THE DAY HERE. WELL???

I had the same problems before my surgery on May 15th. I couldn't stand for more that 5-10 minutes. Walking really hurt. Shopping exhausted me. All that is gone since the surgery. It is a lONG and hard recovery, but a friend of mine had same surgery 8 years ago and is now hiking all over the world and is totally without pain. We both had two surgeries. One from the back and one from the front.
