Hello @bobwieler, welcome to Connect. You may notice I moved your discussion and combined it with the existing "Scoliosis – Introduce Yourself" discussion. I did this so the many members actively discussing scoliosis would have a chance to see your message and respond. @bobwieler, how are you doing with the side-effects of your scoliosis? It sounds as though you are quite active, does that help your pain? Did you notice you were having more issues before your instructor mentioned you may be developing a new curve?

Hello Justin, Thanks for moving my discussion to a spot where people can respond. I am active, but have been slowed down by heart Afib. Took over 3 years to diagnose. Low level case, could not see any irregularities on several EKGs. Taking medication, feeling much better, able to take walks, and do yoga. Noticed about a year ago the left side of my back in the center along the left side of spine becoming increasingly painful. Also headaches began occurring about the same time. I also noticed my breathing becoming very difficult. (I have had shortness of breath since I was young ) Instructor asked if I had any headaches and if I did were they located on the left side of my head. Yes I replied to both. I now do poses to help support better breathing and decrease muscle stiffness and started new poses for the cervical area. Pain does decline momentarily but returns in a day. Aspirin is not working like it used to. Sorry about the slow response. Last thing; Spine curve last measurement was September 2017, 63 degree curve.
