35 degree +

[Guest guest]

I have 35*+ curve in the top and bottom. . S shaped. And I am so crooked

that if my back were straight I'd be about 5 " taller. I went to a lot of

doctors and

they all wanted to operate. But meeting girls who had it done put me off

for a

while. . .I was 15 at the time. I saw what they had to go thru and saw

what they

looked like afterwards. The idea of having steel rods bolted to my back for

the

rest of my life didn't turn me on.

I met women later who had problems, such as the rods bending or breaking.

I've also met women who had it done and were quite content with it.

It's all a personal choice.

I also went to Chiropractors and the last one told me that my body has

grown into it's natural state, natural for me that is. Changing it so

extremely

didn't seem the right thing to do.. .for me.

I'm 45 now. I have some pain, but I lift weights every other day. I don't

gain

weight. I don't smoke or drink. I've had 2 children natural child birth and

I'm

feeling pretty good.

I don't tell anyone not to have surgery. But I just like to let others know

that

there are alternatives to everything.
