My sister was totally crippled with this disease. She was so bent over she had to sleep with a pregnancy pillow and medication to get sleep. Her organs were squeezed and she developed a hernia which they couldn’t operate on because of the congestion. She was only 68 when she passed. I would recommend getting a look to stay ahead of it my sis was a heavy smoker and they said it played a role in determining whether or not she could have the surgery. We all react differently but I would say we should do whatever we can to get relief. Don’t give up!

Sorry for the loss of your sister. How bad was your sister's scoliosis, and when did she develop? You would think the doctors today would monitor a person with scoliosis more carefully. The doctor I see thinks nothing of it. Maybe they don't even read my medical history, which is most likely the case. Smoker? They blame everything on smoking. But they legalize vaping which has many chemicals, pot smoking, and those prescription drugs on the market with so many side effects that scare you to death. Not saying that smoking is good, but when a person smokes they blame any ailment they have a cigarette?? Health Insurances just allow so many procedures and does not consider the individual. We are all different and react different, and the procedure for one person may not be good for another.
