Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Scheuermann's disease is mainly seen in young adults. I understand that you have a progressive back deformity. You should take pain killers and some of which lead to fatigue. However, I also consider to rule out spondylitis which also leads to kyphosis of thoracic spine along with other features. Consult your treating orthopedics surgeon for guidance and further treatment

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
