Hi.... I'm A 16 Year Old Male With Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Hi.... I'm a 16 year old male with idiopathic scoliosis. I received a brace when my lumbar curve reached 35 degrees and my thoracic curve reached 32 degrees. Despite bracing, six weeks later, my lumbar curve increased 10 degrees reaching 45. Would you say surgery is required to stop it ??
