Scoliosis

[Nimm]

Anybody else suffered from this?
I`ve been suffering alot from it recent years, in 2004 i took an X-ray, and it displayed a 7% curve.
This year i also took an X-ray due to increasing pain in my back, and now i had an 17% curve.

I got signed up for a "back therapy" class that is going to last 3 weeks.

But anybody else done some work out or anything that gets you pain free? I`m sick off painkillers now.

You're sure that your back pain comes from the scoliosis? I have a winded spine as well, pretty bad actually, but I have strong back muscles and good posture, and suppose that is the reason I never have any pain. What makes me curious is that it did become so much worse within a few years in your case; maybe you have very bad posture? A three week therapy won't do much for your scolioses itself, but it may help correcting that a little.

I do have bad posture, If i try to stand up straight my body "pushes" me down.
I`ve try`d walking long trips going up straigt, but at the end it feels like my hole back is about to break.

The doctor said that i do unconsiously regualte my body to compensate for the lack of muscles in my back, but then again alot of the muscles in my back are "locked" so it always feels like there is alot of tension on my back, like im walking around with a heavy back pack i can`t take off.

I had something similar when standing for a long time (a rock festival nearly destroyed me). It got better when I started focusing on back training (ask a trainer for good exercises). Also, i make a conscious effort to tighten my abs and standing very upright most of the time. It also helps you to leave a much better first impression with good posture.
