I was diagnosed with scoliosis last year at age 39. When looking at an x ray from a deca scan, it’s very obvious to see the twists in the spine and the uneven hips…
But when standing up right and wearing clothes, 99.9% of people would never notice it, and would say it’s in my head if I mentioned it.
I can absolutely feel the twist and the effects of it, especially when lying on my side in bed, or lifting weights…
Anyway, having scoliosis doesn’t always mean that you have a very obvious case… and unfortunately for me, because it wasn’t obvious, it didn’t get diagnosed until age 39, when it was far to late to do anything to correct it.
