I am very happy to see this topic. I have found my way to scoliosis in a different way, perhaps. I did have a "sway" lower back since childhood. I had an acute, multiple trauma accident in 2009. I was 48 at the time and due to determination and a lot of hard work, I did learn to walk again and recovered for the most part. I have hardware throughout my body and a total shoulder replacement. I was fortunate to be under the care of a most skilled trauma surgeon. As a result of the multiple fractures in my pelvis and the separation of my sacrum from my pelvis the scoliosis in my lower back is pronounced. A PT explained it to me. It is not a twisting and curving but rather a straight curve. I hope that makes sense. My sleep is always interrupted after a few hours with extreme discomfort. I am on pain management medications along with past cortisone injections, massage and PT. Those are for the various other issues besides this topic. I am not sure what else to do to make things easier for myself. I did buy a new bed. I needed one as the last one was way past it's useful life. I am not sure it is right. It's firm and I do think mostly it is just living with my body the way it is now. In other words, I am not sure any mattress would be "perfect." I did a lot of research and speaking to people to help me make a decision. I've only been sleeping on it for a week. I am trying to keep myself active and strengthen my muscles in my body. I always wonder what others do to help.
