scoliosis

I am 48 years old and had a spinal fusion when iI was 10 and another when I was 12. My left shoulder blade extends out and my right one is flat. I am a d/b manager at a grocery store and have back pain almost everyday of my life. The pain does not get better with age, it gets worse. I have to try not to think about it alot. If I thought about it all the time would never get out of bed. People that do not have it can not imagine the pain is causes, the muscle spasms or the fatigue that accompanys it. It's is nice to know that I am not the only one that suffers from constant back pain. I wish they could come up with a way to remove or flaten the over-developed shoulder blade. That would take away a lot of pain.

hmm

I am 19 years old. I had scoliosis surgery a few years ago. I had been dealing with scoliosis years before it was detected. the degree of my curves (s curve or 2 curves) were severe i had to have surgery at a close hospital soon after we found out i had it..even after the few years i still have SOOO much pain its ridiculous! :-( i feel that scoliosis has ruined my life!
