Dear Rose: I just read your message about pain with your scoliosis. I have a lumbar curve of 60 and a thoracic curve of 40. I am 56 years old and i too have considerable pain. However, this last year, I had a special brace made at an orthopedic supply house -- rigid molded plastic that straps my torso in and helps support my spine. It has brought me incredible relief. I also swim and walk and work with weights to try to improve my pathetic muscles on my right side. Keep trying and keep asking your doctor, physical therapist, etc. for help until you get it. Courage! cindy
