Went to the doctor today and it looks like I have mild scoliosis!! Just like my mum and grandma. My sister managed to skip over it somehow
It doesn’t help that I’m 6 foot 2 and still growing.

Lol!!! Good outlook! So happy Thursday [emoji6]
Well that is weird... I don’t dream very often but when I do, it’s always so real that it freaks me out a little.. ♀️

How will that affect you later on? Do your mum and grandma do ok with it? I wonder if posturing and therapy could help since your so young???

It shouldn’t effect me that much, maybe some pain later on. My mum barely notices it. They may refer me to do some physio if it ever gets worse.

Ouch. My son had a visibly twisted spine aged about 9. He grew like a weed too reaching 6 foot 6 eventually.
I took him to my physio/osteopath for many sessions over the years and she was able to straighten him out. In his case, she said he would eventually grow the muscle to stop it happening and what she needed to do was keep him straight in the meantime. He has stopped growing and broadened out now and his spine is straight. I am so glad it was caught early.
I hope they can sort you out. It is surprisingly common. My best friend’s daughter had to have rods in her spine in January for it and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
EDIT
If your parents did decide to go down the private route with a physio/osteopath then I would wholeheartedly recommend mine (She is qualified as both). According to Google Maps it takes an hour to drive to her from Brighton Station.

Good Wednesday Everyone,
I am still stiff, but we will persevere. It is a sunny day again today, however tomorrow and Friday the weather is expected to change. I hope that everyone is having a safe, healthy and happy day!
A little stiff is great for you. When we first met you in the CDR you wouldn’t even have considered it due to the pain you were in
How about a little heat to sll those aching muscles n bones! One could zip here, but I see most of Europe is in the throngs of a heatwave as well. Reportedly many major Eoro locations will break records today or tomorrow,
A look at our forecast... not so nice :-(

The doctor had to have a good feel of my back which lasted half an hour, it was very awkward for me haha. My spin does not look visibly curved however my left shoulder is slightly higher than my right. The doctor gave me certain exercises to do every day and a check up in a months time.
I get the one shoulder higher thing regularly with my back problems too. (I had operations on a spinal disc) It’s noticing that which has me toddling off to my physio. It’s the first sign that I am headed for big trouble!

It’s really odd especially when looking at yourself in a mirror.
Hey, I have a toad too that is living in the frontyard of my house. I see him every evening / night walking around catching moths. I put out two flat bowls with water and he is bathing and soaking every night.
Hey friends. Wishing y`all a beautiful Thursday.
I have so much to tell but sooo short time. Torts are happy in their new enclosure indoor & outdoors. They slept only one night in their new indoor enclosure and found their way back in their night box ( yesterday they had been outside the first day this summer too ). It is a little surprise that they walked in their night box where they only slept one night. Amazing little dinosaurs !
A few pics:
New indoor enclosure.
Nightbox ( indoors )
outdoor enclosure:
the tortoise "walk" . They can go indoor our outdoor by themselves.
Now I want to build an outdoor pen for my aldabras too. They need natural sunshine and exercises too.
See you all later !

Hello everyone here's a pic of Opo pushing mommies chair around 
Be sure to follow doctor's orders, you'll thank him later on in life. My son had to wear a back brace 23 hours a day during his senior year of high school. It was terribly embarrassing for him and he got teased unmercifully. His back was straight after he was allowed to stop wearing it. So think about senior year of high school to about three years ago when he was now about 59 or 60 (?). He was suffering terrible back pain and the diagnosis was his back was curving again. The only way to relieve the pain was to have his back surgically fused. So now he can't bend anymore. Very difficult to put on and tie shoes, etc.
My guess was that if he had been able to follow Joe's mum's doctor's advice with the exercises to build up the muscles, instead of having to wear a brace, which didn't do anything for muscles, he may not have had the pain later in life. Like you, his one shoulder was higher than the other. This was way back in the dark ages.
