@kre22 I am very active with horses and other animals in a ranch, along with regular exercise, and my pain is getting worse. My surgeon told me that with age, and gravity, my curve will get worse as time goes by, as will my pain. I can’t live with a future that has me wanting to find some relief by sitting in the recliner even more than I do now.
Does your doctor monitor your curve with routine X-rays?
Wishing you all the best.

Yes, Sherry?
I have annual X-rays to monitor the curve. I too am very active.

Sherry,
I too am very active even at 77 years of age. Occasional sitting helps but I’m not a sedentary person. Yes, I f/u with annual X-rays. Wish you the best.
