Scoliosis - Introduce yourself and meet others

Hello, everyone. I am an S curve scoliosis person who was never diagnosed until a few short years ago. I am now 87. The diagnosis finally explained to me why my waist is higher on one side of my body than the other. In addition to scoliosis, I also have neuropathy which plagues me the most because it keeps me awake throughout the night. But the scoliosis keeps me from walking and standing during the day for more than 15 minutes at a time. Then I have to sit down to "decompress" for a few moments before I can get up and continue what I was doing. Overall, I still manage to live normally at home taking care of myself and 90 year husband.

@arkansaslady are considering surgery?
I am 54 and was diagnosed with scoliosis less than a year ago. Went throughout life with one shoulder higher, one hip higher, walk with a slight limp and the pain….getting worse all the time. Surgery next month.
