Should I Stop Slouching Having Diagnosed With Scoliosis?
Hi, I found out two days ago that I have scoliosis, should I stop slouching or will that make it worse? I ve straighten my back for two days but thats just causing me mild pain. I m 13 (will turn 14) in september and I was wondering what are the chances of my scoliosis growing? My normal doctor said to go to a orthopedic doctor but my appointment is in a month and I have a lot of anxiety about it. My regular doctor speculates that the curve is at 15 degrees. Also, sorry for the long question but is there anything else I should know? (The scoliosis is not genetic)
