New to group - looking for advice and tips

[Guest guest]

I am 52 and over past 10 years my scoliosis has become much worse.

Wore a brace in High School but no other treatment as I also have

severe asthma. My S curve has greatly increased, pain as well and now

having lung and heart problems. Pnemonia twice in 6 months and heart

often races.

Looking for people in my age group and what options are out there.

If surgery - prep me - pain, recovery etc... How much improvement did

you have and were there complications?

Also interested in alternative treatment. Curious about rib

reconstruction too. Thank you in advance to anyone who responds.
