Rather new...just saw a scoliosis heading so I know little about treatments, etc. Went from 5' 8" to 5' 4''. Now if that is not a blow to a 65 year old female who wanted to be tall as a child and was made fun of as there were no tall women in the family...Yup, I shrunk and was told we are born with this spine malady. Did not appear until around 2010. Go figure. Mayhap someone here can shed some light on this subject. Do have Osteopenia (at the upper end of the scale).
