Answers:
At 19 you are probably finished growing!. If your curve is below 40 degrees, it is not likely to get worse later in life!. However, if the curve is greater than 40 degrees, it is likely to continue to get worse by 1-2 degrees each year!. If this is not prevented, the you'll eventually be at risk for heart and lung problems or problems with carrying a pregnancy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
