Carmen, that is pretty bad (sorry to say that) but in a couple of years there may be new technology so that you DON'T have to wear a brace.

I have scoliosis and damaged discs in my spine and am having surgery (spinal fusion) in about 9 days. It's a brand-new technology that will keep me in the hospital for only TWO days instead of months and months like in the old days.

New things are being invented all the time. Who knows? Maybe in a few years you can have surgery and have a beautiful, straight spine. Don't give up hope, okay?
