I am 14. I found out I had Scoliosis last year in a school check up. They said it was minor but I should go to a GP and see what they say. I went and the GP told me to go to the RNOH but for some reason I couldn't so I went to the Wellington in London (which is awesome!). I talked to the Dr there and had xrays and we found out I had 1 curve in the top half of my spine. It was 41 degrees. I know that sounds really bad but I found out that because above and below the curve were straight that there was no need for a brace or surgery, just regular check ups. 4 months later I went back to find out it had gone to 36 degrees. I was apsoloutely delighted! I'll be going back again in 2 weeks for my next 1 (6 months after) so hoping it's good news again!
The reason why i think it got better is because I went to a Physio place. I do exercises on one of the awesome gym ball things every day which helps stretch my back out - it helps make it more comfartable and makes it get better, what more could you want!? I only do about 5-10 mins every day and it makes such a big difference! (5 degrees better is really really good!)
So if you think, what should I do, how will I make it better, do physio, it helps so much! And also don't give up, some days I'm like ugh I don't wanna do my exercises and that's ok but if you leave it for like a month that's hardly gonna make it better!
Good luck everyone!! x
