Hi Ginger. I am certainly NOT happy ur flipping out from pain but at least there might b hope for me! I tried to sit straight and not hunched over- I am getting a fast advancing scoliosis- that is goving me mid and upper back spasms. Anyone give me any hints. I am very frightened as I live alone and my son's m i l lives in his basement. He has 4 kids and 3 brs and they r all up a flight of steps. I am worried about what will become of me. I am an unusual 74 y o with a much younger sort of bf. He gave me a massage which hurt but helped a lot. Cannot afford them every day and only see him on occasion. He lives 1 and a half hours away and if he works all day - usually 6 days a week, he is too tired to give me the long massage he did yesterday. He got rid - temporarily- of a lot of spasm. My family hates him and doesn't know I am still seeing him..
Even if I wanted him to live here it would be iimpossible and he is lazy. As my gf says he thinks he is on vacation. No no help there. So I am stuck. Any suggestions? Trying to get to PT but having a flare of of gastroparesis which causes me extreme fatigue.Thanks for listening.

@marcyk hope you don't mind me interjecting here. I heard that chiropractic treatment can help with scoliosis I live in a senior building and a man who has scoliosis ask me so I did ask my chiropractor he said he could help if its early . Just information for you I have a lot of back issues and use a Tens unit maybe before your byf. Massages he could put Tens on first it relaxes the muscles
