Thanks bustrbrwn22 but we all have problems or we would not be on this site. I never had scoliosis before 8 years ago when I fell bringing hubby home from a procedure for a precancerous huge180 degree polyp in his duodenum to try to avoid a Whipple surgery. It was done in 2 parts and this was the 2nd one but since it was snowing and icy out they wanted to leave and let him go while he was still kind of loopy. So I was not paying attention to where I was going and tripped in the parking lot of the hospital and went down pushing my bag into my diaphragm which was in front of me. After that I started to get short of breath and it kept getting worse over time. They finally realized it was not asthma but my spine but by then it was too late to do anything with my brittle bones. I went from 5'6" to 4'9"., ugly as heck. I do appreciate your prayers and back attcha. Thanks again Hugs
